Thats why I said around 2 grand for the trans route. There are little things that add up quick to do the full install.

I did all my shopping through "Bowtie Overdrive"

175 = Converter
160 = TV cable system
100 = Lock up kit
70 = Speedo kit
38 = converter cover
50= flex plate
35= dip stick

1095 = Stage one trans
1295 = Stage two trans

They also havs a trans cross member for 175, its built so you dont have to do any mods to the e-brake cable.

There are other places that have kits like "Monster trans" for right at 1900 but you still need a flex plate.

There is also the drive shaft factor and thats around 300 to have one built and shipped.

There is allways the craigs list or P-N-P route that i'll look into once I'm home but I'm one that says you get what you Pay for in the long run.
