My car is back! Better than ever+

Hi all,
I just finished (well you know.. for now) fixing my 87 9k T. I had the shop install a '92 NA tranny and a low milage steering rack.
A smooth tranny and a functioning Str. rack make for an amazing difference. The car, also with all poly bushes, is very tight and peppy. The shorter gear in the NA tranny is not as noticeble as others previously posted, but there is a difference.
I love the gearing, and its exactly what I thought it would be. The car is a little slower in 1st but when driving in all the other gears (especially in the city) I find myself more often in the sweet spot (3k-4k rpm) compared to 2.5k-3.5 with the Turbo tranny.
Also thanks to Michael Smith's post I am now using thicker oil (20w-50. Its great for my higher milege car, especially in the summer. The engine is so smooth and quiet on rev ups.
The only real cost is the fact that I need to sell my Aero rims and Toyo tires neither of which I ever mounted. The cost of the repair needs to be covered somehow!
Thanks for reading,
-roman
