Well I've pulled the trigger and ordered a BowTieOverdrives 200-4R Level 2 for my 63 Nova (Camaro is next). They don't discount much when you buy all the parts, basically the only discount I got was maybe $30 saved on the speedo sleeve/gears, everything else is standard price, its $60 crate fee and $144 shipping to the freight company or business address. Bought a new 2600 stall converter and dust cover elsewhere for less but getting the Trans/Crossmember/TV System/Brake Switch Kit/Speedo Gears/Sleeve/Installers Kit with Pressure Gauge, Temperature Gauge, Gauge Mount and Inline Filter). I did find these transmissions cheaper from Ebay tranzparts1 but I decided to spend the extra $$$ to make sure I get a good quality transmission.
Costs?
BTO $1743.50
BulkParts $30 (dust cover/ground straps/magnets/extra filter)
ebay morandon $180 (2600 Stall Locking 200-4R Converter)
Drive Shaft King $60 (New U-Joints and Rebalance Shaft)
Trans Fluid $?? (Haven't purchased yet)
SKT 46174 Socket Extension $27 from greattoolspecials.com
TOTAL DAMAGE : $2,040.50 + Fluid
Planning to use my existing B&M shifter which isn't setup for an Overdrive, hoping I can still get 2/3/Overdrive and just have 1 missing until I can get a nice Flaming River Column Shifter setup.
Spent the extra $ for the Level 2 for added reliability even though I'm well under the HP Limit of the Level 1.
