Andy, The shipping cage was not the holdup. That is a result of bringing some truly visionary eyes to the table and some seriously skilled fabrication people to design and build a better mouse trap.
All: The transmission package includes the following: Transmission Shifter mechanism Shifter linkage Shifter mount plate Longer Speedometer Cable
Cost is $4995.00 This will fit into an existing factory 3 or 4 speed floor shift 67-Up A Body, '62-74 B Body /70-74 E Body car with NO MODS. It will fit'63-66 A Bodies with a floor dimple for speedo cable clearance. This need for a dimple will be remedied soon.
We do not advertise a complete changeover kit because there are too many variables such as including carpet or not, console or not, different year A/B/E Bodies take different parts. Just these three variations can cause a $1000+ difference. So it makes no sense to advertise a kit at a certain price. Ultimately, there will be an angry customer because his kit costs more than the advertised price. (even though there are a bunch of changes) Hopefully people understand that. I am always happy to work up an individual price for a complete conversion kit from auto to stick. Jamie
