T5 Valley Machining Kit

[G_Don]

Hey guys,

I recently moved to San Diego, due to work and I'll be here a few years. I plan on shipping out my 30 phaeton. It has a B block and a stock A trans. I have zero welding ability but I am decent at assembling and disassembling things. I plan on running the banger but want a t5 behind it to give me a little bit extra drivability (potentially even take the car on the highway).

I saw a kit from valley machine shop in bakersfield.

with some of the directions below

It looks like a nice kit, and I'd rather spend a little money and get a kit I can more or less bolt into my A, seeing as my welding and machining skills are nonexistent.

Does anyone have any experience with it? I'd like to know how you like it since you completed the conversion?

I read a review from one member on their manual speedometer cable for the t5 and it was positive, and have seen their kit mentioned on here, but no reviews on it are on here or the HAMB.

Anyway, if anyone knows anything I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
Gordy
