You must cut up the bulkhead a lot -- if you go back to the standard tower location you'll need a new bulkhead. They are not the most expensive part...
Much of the difference may be attributable to the AJ body, which Paul also runs. I'll let him comment on the whole package.
Paul is working now to solve the final problem with this: ballstud changes. He's been running tower forward for about 6 months, and still needs to pull the transmission to change anything on the ballstud. What used to be a 1-minute change is now at least 10 mins for a very experienced mechanic. So you may want to think twice about doing it.
We are working on two different ideas to make these changes easier/quicker. As soon as we find the best solution, we will release a kit with new tower, machined bulkhead, and all the other parts you need to make the change quickly and easily.
However, this is not our first priority. Paul has started producing the Gen 5.1 prototypes of the X - 7, and will go back to work on tower forward after the 5.1s are finished and out to our Team drivers.
