I have contacted tons of places regarding a T-56 for my 68 Firebird project

and Hurst got back to me with an estimate really fast

American powertrain took about a couple weeks

and Keisler got back to me in only a matter of months, with a quote for a 5 speed, and after I tried to contact them to get an updated quote they never answered me, so I resubmitted on their website and now almost a year later, still nothing


Hurst +1

I was just looking at kits this weekend. American Powertrain seemed to have everything in the kit even the new tunnel piece. I also like the crossmember piece they offer.

I experienced the same thing with Keisler... No response to multiple web inquiries.

I've heard great things about Hurst too but living in CA, where they are based, I am trying to avoid the almost 10% sales tax but with American Powertrain the shipping to CA was over $1000. I need to call Hurst and weigh my options.

The Summit code seems like a great option but you/we will need to build the kit ourselves. But to save the tax, cheap shipping and 10% off seems like the best deal... But no tech support like with the others... hmmmm

I've talked to a few vendors myself and by far the most helpful was Jim@Hurst Drivelines. He is super knowledgeable of the products and conversions. Their price was as cheap as I had seen and they were offering free shipping. Once I make a decision and the budget recovers that's likely where mine will be coming from.
