It would be nice if Art would come on the forum or authorize someone else to speak for him and say whether he was anticipating doing more or if he plans a kit or just what the future plans would be. Since you know him, maybe you could make the suggestion.

The Chrysler kit and satisfaction is somewhat hit and miss for whatever reasons, and I suspect even those needed units are getting hard to find. The only other current GM option I know of for the V8 is geared more to the Studebaker guys. The place with the current S8 adapter is one of those maybe things--and frankly, I think yours looks more thought out since it didn't need a starter change.

If it works out long term as well as it seems to be starting, then there probably would be a few takers-- If a way could be found to incorporate the electric shift, then lots more possibly would be interested.
