Re: Eaton Swap.....

This thread should not end. LOL.

Did you end up using the GT500 brackets? I'm about to on mine. I got a near new H/E and brackets for a little over $100 shipped. Seems like a score at the moment but there will be some mods needed on the brackets.

I am using Jerry's anodized brackets for my swap rather than the full factory setup. I'm about halfway through the swap. Parts have not been too hard to find but aren't in the pristine shape that you could expect a few years ago. Makes sense since the donor cars are obviously a good 10-11 years old now.

I used information from this thread to do this swap and an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of parts numbers, status of orders, and so forth.
