Yes, Craigs statement is to be taken very seriously. It's the bolt on bellhousing that makes the adaption so desireable. Even tho i am one to always avoid and even scold the use of any kind of e-devices for vehicle applications i believe this particular situation is a valid compromise for the use of electronics. A good compromise until someone comes up with a conversion that has bolt on bellhousing and requires NO e-device. THus far noone has come up with one.

Thus far this is the best conversion WITH AN OVERDRIVE or maybe even without overdrive i've heard of in over 12 years of discussions.
