Evil neo, Trinity is right "it ain't cheap". I'm in the middle of the same thing right now. The gear vendor unit is rock solid, but very exspensive. I like the ford AOD unit but again according to the tranny guy the shift sequence in a classic mustang is a little funky. I ended up ordering a 5 speed conversion kit from modern driveline. I've yet to put it in......I'll keep you all posted.

 

Here's the breakdown,

 

AOD conversion approx. 2000.00 plus install

5sp conversion approx. 2800.00 plus install

Gear vendor approx 3000.00 plus intall (not positive)

 

Let us all know what you do decide..
