I don't have anything to throw in about the actual process here, but for us, and likley many other teams, it is far too late in build to just "drop in" different transmissions. Believe it or not, it would take far more time, effort, and money to modify our existing chassis to use the AMs than to fix the already-mounted BBs. We will be looking into hardening once a final plan is developed, as a mentor fortunately works at a brazing company.
