full manual reverse valve body -- streetable?

swap out the valve bodies AND put the trans kickdown linkage (or aftermarket cable) back on. No kickdown linkage and you trans burns up rather quickly. One of the reasons a lot of people go to the manual VB is when an aftermarket carb and/or intake are installed its sometimes tricky to compensate for the differences in height. Put in a manual VB and you're done.
As I understand it, a fully manual reverse vavle body uses no kickdown. It is shifted with the shifter cable only. It won't work with a kickdown hooked up.
