Real world swap cost

I just did this swap in my '73 Roadrunner and I love it. The only thing I would throw out there is that after it was all said and done. after getting all the "good guy" deals, et al, I would probably been better off going with a 5 speed conversion kit from Keisler or some such company. I've been reading that Keisler just came out with a lower cost kit that has a rebuilt TKO instead of their brand new units. (I didn't compare the cost versus what I spent, I was too scared)
