Default Fresh Ashcroft R380 plus upgrade.

Just received my fresh Ashcroft R380 w/ heavy duty rear support bearing upgrade. I hope Ashcroft is as good as I'm told! I also ordered new AP master/slave cylinders, upgraded clutch fork, increased capacity inspection cover for the transfer case and a few other od pieces. I'm not too sure on the Britpart clutch and pressure plate though. Now I have to figure out if I want to do it myself or have a shop do the swap. If anyone has a recommendation for a shop in the Worcester, MA greater New England area let me know.

For what it's worth, I did the clutch and R380 swap on my 1994 last year myself. Local shop wanted ~1800 in labor.
I had never removed a transmission before and managed it in the driveway with 4 jack stands and a transmission jack which could articulate 3 ways.
Probably took me like 6-8 hours in total and a few hundred curse words.
My only regret was not being prepared /mentally ready to replace the rear main seal on my v8 as that is a definite "while you're in there" item.
Don't forget you need new flywheel bolts!
Good luck.
