opinions please tranny swap

For months to years I have been kicking the can around about swaping to a OD tranny. I have looked at 700R4 and 200r4 and 4l60e and 4l80e ... On and On and then I stumbled across this

Midwest Muncie auto to man kit

https://www.midwestmuncie.com/produc...peed-swap-kit/

so in regards to the price , I figured if you went with a newer electronic OD tranny you would be close to the same cost by the time you got the controller and converter TPS adapter any what ever else...
I do not mind driving a stick and think they are more fun that an auto.

So guys check out the link and give me some thoughts

what was the TQ/HP rating for a Muncie tranny back in the day???

A nice rebuilt Muncie can be had for $1,100.00 the rest of the parts are cheap .$4,300.00 is the crazy price !

My buddy Rick has over 150 in stock and has been rebuilding them for builders for a long time .

A Muncie would be neat, but I’d go for a tremec TKO. The trans is $2450 at speedway motors, you will have to come up with a bellhousing, clutch, linkage etc. The extras may put you close to 3500-4000 but you will have a strong overdrive.
