PRRC, thanks for some comfort regarding Monster Motorsports. To answer the original question of this thread here is the site for MM:

The transmision is $1195 with FREE SHIPPING but you will still need a matching torque converter. I forget the actual total cost but it was about $1400 with the converter. The model I bought is the 2WD model above the lowest minion. I was able to specify a "soft shift", just my preference, rather than quick shifts. I chose Monster Motorsports because they have a hydraulic shift for the OD and I wanted to avoid an electrical connection. It is now installed in an incomplete '29 'glass roadster from Bebops (fendered) with a mild SBC350 and 8" Maverick rear with 3.55 gears. Sometimes I get a lot done on the car in a week but when the weather is cold I have to leave it go for a while. Maybe it will be on the road next summer?
