WOW
These figures regarding T5 conversion costs are something else.
On the lister when I did it back when it cost me $800 for the 1985 T5 tranny and that included the bell housing.It may have took a $100 or so more but I did all the work.On the 62 I have the so called world class T5 on the shelf and in the car I have the T5 from the supercharged Tbird.Together they cost me about 650. Actually I did trade some parts for the T5 from the Tbird so that cut the cost.
Of course if you are just a bolt in person the cost can be much more expendsive.
To me its the challenge which I do enjoy.
