Well after the 1600 mile round trip to Eureka, I'm dreaming about a 5 speed again. I looked into the Keisler again yesterday ($2299) with some accessories. Would still need to modify the rear support and drive line, which is troubling for me, because I can weld a hole in a good piece of metal !! They are running about two months behind for orders, but that's not a problem, because I wouldn't do it until this winter anyway.
I took the tach out of Ms Bela last year, because it quit working, so I don't know what the RPMs were while driving eight hours across Nevada and Oregon, but 3300 (+) is my guess. Got almost 14 mpg on two different fill-ups and can really imagine maybe 16 mpg with the overdrive ?
Has anyone done the Keisler change over ??? How does it work, and how hard to make the change ?? One thing I really don't want to do is modify the floor pan...
