Thinking about a GearVendors overdrive/underdrive for a 66 American project (401; T10).  Interested in talking with anyone who has installed a GV unit in an AMC with T10.  GV rep indicated that their unit works for AMX, with an adapter they make for the shifter.  Not sure if I will have to modify the trans/drive shaft tunnel for the GV unit, will have to have the drive shaft shortened.  It's a pricey unit, but converting to a T5 overdrive trans can also be pricey. 
1966 American HT, 401 with STR 11, T10
1979 Spirit GT, 401, T10
1975 Hornet Hatchback, 440 c.i. stroked 401, to be an LSR race car
1930 Essex coupe, to be a 401 with 3 deuces, TKX 5 speed, hot rod

I don't think a GV unit is any cheaper than a T-5 or even a stronger five speed. If you're paying someone for the install overall cost might be a bit lower, but shouldn't be much. The GV unit is quite pricey -- around $3K for the unit, nearly $1K to install. With taxes you're looking at $4K easy. They aren't real hard to install though, easy enough if you can change a clutch.
