Reputably in good working condition, but take that with a grain of salt...

Just for interests sake what sort of dollars are talking here?

It should have the 2.937 first, 1.858 second, 1.311 third, 1.0 fourth and a .96 top?

 

I am fairly familiar with these, and the mid close and ultra close ratio boxes9 I am thinking about selling some too!, maybe later dunno)

[C.A.R.]

I have no idea, Jason!

When I get around to deciding to sell the midclose or/and the ultra close boxes they will be around the 3 to4 k mark, they are just RARE

I can set up a regular L series with similar midclose ratios ex Japan manufacturer, ( rather than Albins who cut gears off c/shaft and press fit/weld new ones on, and supply new mainshaft gears, and depending in input drive driven ratio can play around with individual gear ratios.

This sort of gives one a gear for any corner for track work

I've got three of these early 240 boxes, the ratios are far better than later stuff.

 

Buy Lurch's box, people you will be happy, BUT the synchros and dogs will annoy the crap out of you !!!!

I was tempted to these are the same box as found in the Fairlady 2000 Roadster and I've heard the ratios are really good in them.

 

Why do you say the synchros and dogs will annoy you? From what I've heard these are the Porsche style synchros and people say they are better than the later box?

 

My dilemna is I don't really need it right now, but it would be 'nice' to have.   For $450 big ones I might let someone else buy it.

They do require a careful gear change, not a hard and fast style of slam'em through, as per circuit racing.

I find the later type boxes better for circuit work, and bits are more easily obtainable for them. The shifter mech is a more postive feel. I do certain stuff to the internals to prep for racing, mainly for longevity and insurance, pretty common stuff, but the majority of g/box shops will look at you in a silly way and will think what planet are you on!

 

The ratios in Lurch's box are as close as you can get to an Albins type close ratio set, and at $450 is very very good buying when an albins 1/2/3 will be around the 2000 figure, plus a rebuild cost.
