You might want to look into a Lock Right locker. Installs with hand tools
without removin' the ring and pinion. They run around $300. Summit Racin'
has 'em.
A pumpkin swap is a tricky deal. Sumthin' you'd probably want to have a
pro do. Whole thing could end up costin' $500 by time yer done.
Just my 0.02.
