Hi. I have a friend who has a 1968 Road Runner clone, and he would like a four-speed tranny. He's young, with lots of spare time, handy with tools, but with really a small budget.

He's from Czech Republic, like me, so:
- even professional work is usually cheaper here than in the USA
- shipping is kinda expensive, but it's possible to save by shipping all items at once in a container, or in the trunk of some car being imported. So it's really prefferable to find lots of stuff on one place.

Restoring stuff is not a problem, originality is not a problem. If an A833 from a 1970s truck works the same as the one in a Road Runner, it's good enough for us. Ugly stuff needing work to be useable is perfectly fine.

He was looking at $3,000 conversion kits online, and was ready to ditch the whole idea, as this is too much money for him. I say it can be done much cheaper, with lots of work invested. But how much cheaper?

Thanks a lot!
