If you want to buy everything as a package, there is a place who can do it...Called Keisler Engineering (Knoxville, TN). They specialize in Tremec conversions into earlier-model cars (alot of 60's-70's muscle). Ask for Glen.

Is there other possibilities on the market for such a conversion such as a Doug Nash 5 speed, perhaps a Jerico or T-10 with an add on 5th gear?

Probably not behind a 351c, choices are limited anyway. I'd rather stay the course of other guys and pick between either a t5 or tremec. Most seem to go tremec.

Like I've said before, it appears that some people get good TKO's and others get crappy ones. It sad to say, but it's just a gamble you have to take.

From my observations (online and in the clutch industry), percentages look about like 90% good and 10% bad. But as Brian says...taking a gamble is not in everyone's blood.
