Question best manual transmission kit for a 1965 Mustang?

I have send several threads on auto to manual tranny swap. I made the mistake to go to the Keisler website and I found their conversion kit. SWEET (just have a look). As far as I can find, there is no better kit on the market, but this would be my first tranny swap so what do I know.

My main issue is budget, 4k for all inclusive T45RS kit is a bit steep, but look at the videos how short and smooth it seems to change gears.

So are there comparable kits on the market? Any alternatives welcome. An yes I know, getting a better paid job would be an option.

Jake

thanks Andrew, I will check out what it would cost me if I order a similar package through them. Do you have any experience with the gearboxes they use?

He uses more then one tranny it depends on your power and if you want a 5 speed or 6.But he uses a t5 tko 500 and 600 and t56 all are good trannies.
