Thanks David. I was especially looking at the end column and the numbers made no sense to me.

Actually, the question is, is there a market anywhere? John says shipping will be calculated from the US or UK, which ever is less. From this I interpret the gearbox can be assembled in the UK, like the T9 conversion for the Elite was. If John had had the T9 gearcase drilled for the Cortina bolt pattern, he could have saved the cost and shipping for the custom bellhousing. But these are just quibbles at this late date. At least there is a viable product. If you select the options of the BGH gearset and aluminum gearcase, the project is very desirable.I wonder if there is a US market for the Mazda conversion box now that Quantumechanics, Voights and BGH seem to have done a deal with a developed product and at a manageable price?
