this trans set up has pleased many owners. The weight is carried by the cross member without cutting into it like on some

personally, I prefer an original and an overdrive, but if shifting a crash box is not your thing you might find you join the drivers happy with this ******

Ken, this may be a duplicate but yes I am interested in the kit. What all is included in the kit and the price? Bob Reid New Bern N.C.

I got my trans from Tim Sheriden and really love it. I asked him for the wires that go on the backup light switch and he sent me the plug with about 6' of wire. I got some high power leds that were mounted in aluminum round 'bolts' and used them to hold the license plate on. Here is the information on Tim Sheridan:

With this setup, you have to cut off the center upper and lower bolt holes on the clam shell that covers the universal joint. This lets it clear the cross member and the brake cross shaft. I also had to put 1/8" spacers under the mounts for the brake cross shaft. You might also have to tweak the end of the brake connecting rod from the pedal to the cross shaft so that it still hits the brake switch. Right know I can't think of what he said the clutch was from. If you need them, I took some pictures as I was installing it.
For the shifter, I used the stub from the F150 Tim supplied. I cut it down so only the straight portion was left and then ground it in half front to back. I then cut off the bottom of a new Model A shift lever and ground the opposite side off. I clamped the two pieces together and tacked them together. After tacking them together, they were installed in the trans and I tried shifting it. It took some grinding down the weld and retacking them until I was happy with the position. When satisfied, I welded the two together. Make sure it clears the seat and instrument panel before final welding.
If you have any other questions, let me know and I will try to help you.

Call gary bernard as mentioned above. Hes the original guy who started making the kits and has been building them for probably 25 years or more. Great kit, with top knotch quality workmanship. He often fixes others attempts at building these kits. Hes a professional transmission repair man, not just someone who does it for a hobby.
