Need a decent five speed.

For a big block. Anyone got one hanging around? This 750S appears to have spent most of its life as deck cargo on a submarine.

Pete,
I have a spare from a low mileage (so I was told) LM4 that I don't think I'm going to need if you don't find anything closer.

There's nothing worthwhile closer. How much Bill?

Pete,
I paid $400 for it, you could have it for that plus the shipping. I don't know if UPS or USPS would be best for that. I can't track it past the US with the Post Office.

Sounds good to me, I'll just confirm with the owner.

Any chance you could whip the internals out for me? They are all I need and it would make it much cheaper to ship.

And then you could do a little welding on the case, adding two handles and make it a beer mug.

When I first took my Eldo apart the valve cover was my soup bowl for a while...
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.
