Well i hope you get yours ASAP. I would order one now but body work comes first.
I hope it gets here before spring. I have been getting all my drivetrain rebuilt/updated before I start on body work, but the car still looks good from 20 feet

Good luck,
Is it "normal" business practice to collect the full balance 2 months before "expected" delivery?
i thought it was illegal,....?

I don't know, I just want to get this thing because I plan to put many miles on it this summer.
FWIW, the first 1/2 deposit was paid September of last year?

Hey out there, Just received my ss700, #63 for b body... Unit looks heavy enough, and a clean design... Here's what I see right out of the box, I'll start with the negatives... 1) the pilot for the throw out bearing is too big to fit a stock 2892626 bell housing and will have to be machined down... 2)the transmission bolt pattern doesn't line up with this housing either, though there is plenty of stock to put the holes in the correct positions... 3) the hole patten is for a tremec, ( I have a modified bb bell housing)... 4) aside from the 21 months of bs from keisler, My opinion, they are quick to get a sale get your money then will give the any reason why your trans doesn't ship... For the positives... 1) doesn't look like I'll have to hack up the tunnel of my Coronet... 2) the modifications appear easy if you have access to a machine shop... 3) trans has Legend on the case, NOT "keisler"... not a fan of them if you can't tell. will post more when I start the install, probably a month or two... Regards Tim

I see this trans has a center shifter position how does that fit into an offset shifter hole that our cars have. And what input splines does it have, and does your stock driveshaft still fit back in.
My car is originally an auto, the shifter on the Legend is supposed to retain the the stock location in the console using a different shift handle,(available as an option).
For cars without a console and a 4 speed hump the install instructions state a small trim to the passenger side... Manual is a low quality copy, I'd have a hard time posting a picture of, so if you want a copy of that page contact keisler... ps the manual is still for the rs 600 trans...
I'm not sure if they even offer correct offset for b bodies with the 4 speed hump, Again contact keisler...
The drive shaft and yoke are included as part of the b body kit...
input shaft 1 1/8 x 26 spline
output is a 31 spline(their words "driveshaft per customer secs. includes yoke,premium solid u-joints, dynamic balance cert, 1200ftlb rated thinwall construction). Basically you have to measure from the back of installed trans to the face of the rear diff yoke face while the car is sitting level...
Hope that helps answer your questions, if you get a hold of keisler please post if the offset shifter is an option... thanks
I'll be making the mods to fit my stock bell housing this week, will post dimensions of what I change on the ss700 to get it to fit...
Regards Tim
