I am putting together the drivetrain for my new car.

i have obtained a big block ford toploader - big in, big out, with 24" tailshaft.

i need to get a shifter. I can't seem to find anywhere to buy a shifter - david kee sells one, and he seems very nice, but it is very expensive (more than $600). is there anywhere else to get a shifter? i couldn't find any for sale at carlisle this week.

dan williams is not doing these anymore.

there is a nice guy who rebuilds and resells original shifters on eBay (in maryland) and he can also do it for about $600. just wondering if there are any other options that might not cost half the price of the transmission?
