I've been eyeballing an XR drive so I can do a rebuild on the engine right. If everything works out maybe the drive part will be **free. Anyway what drive do you have on yours?

Thanks ZXXX thats what I was leaning toward... we will see what the insurance numbers look like and if the BIII drive has a scrap value. Props look like they could be repaired easily...

I was told the XR would bolt up easily to existing BIII stuff is this true??

That's what I have heard. Someone also mentioned I should upgrade my B3 upper to XR and have em beef up the lower??? confised a bit by this suggestion... still waiting on the damn adjuster.
