It may be too early to ask, but do you have a ballpark idea of the cost to do this conversion? I did the paddle shift mod to my 4.6 a couple years ago and it's a slightly better driving experience, but isn't in the same league as three pedals and a shifter. I'm really hoping this is something that will be doable for me.

Good day!!

This has taken me a little while to put together... I have tried to get the exact prices I paid for this stuff, but some of it I've had for a while... Others I got for free or part of another item... The YPIY has contributed a lot to the project... Cheap parts since I am pulling them myself... So, adjust accordingly... I guess you could just pull the ballpark prices from realoem to get a better idea of actual costs involved... And you may need to add a few for welding labor if you can't do that yourself or know someone...
