Bryan,
I am thinking of doing a 5 speed conversion, too. There are two kits
available, one from Rivergate (rivergate5speed.com) and the other
from Morriservice (Paul Asgierson from this list -
PAsgeirsson@juno.com).
Anyway, I contacted WInner's Circle about the GR starters - they are
asking $229 for them. A little rich for my blood. Let us know if you
find a cheaper source.
