B&M called Jack at Muscle Motors about making a big batch. Jack could put together a group buy if there is enough interest. Not too long ago B&M had the parts to make them, they just weren't assembled.

If they are willing to sell them outside of Ford, I will be buying them in large quantity ASAP. But based on past experience I'm not sure that is true.

Done deal, I have bought all they have left. I will have some in a week - email me if you need one.

I also have a few stock shifters available.

zrchris,

You show these on your web site for order. Are you already accepting orders for them?

I went ahead and ordered via your web site too. If that was not right, no big deal to reverse.

Yes, I am taking orders as they have some already built and shipping to me shortly. Thanks guys! Once they are gone I'll have to shut down until the rest arrive. As I am not a big-budget supporting vendor I'm trying to keep things low key here; still I'll make it a point to renew my annual dues very soon. But yeah I have them on my new site. My price on ebay is higher because of the fees there - a good chunk at this price. So I recommend my site instead for the best deal. Right now I just have Paypal on there, but I will also take mailed money orders.

For those that have asked about installation instructions: I will make sure they come with the Ford Racing instruction sheet and any other supporting info I can round up. However there is a very good post from years ago about doing the install already posted here. I encourage anyone buying a shifter to take a look here:

Is there any kind of alignment tool/gage needed with this installation? If so, does it come with the shifter?

Again, that is me on ebay. They are cheaper in my store without the ebay fees ($450):

Anyone that wants one please go there.

You do not change alignment from stock, you just pop the cables on as shown in the post. That's not to say you might not benefit from some adjustment in general, but that would apply regardless of shifter. The kit comes with bolts, bushings, washers, grease, and loctite.

I recently paid $650 for mine. Wish I would have found this earlier.. I thought I did a fair amount of searching. Go figure.

As you can see from earlier posts I only secured these about a week ago. I wish I had known I could have gotten these sooner...
