My 64 Cat has a beautiful shifting slim Jim it her. But because I was planning on mildly building the 389 I decided to do the 4 speed conversion. I've found a non cracked bell housing and original flywheel. Went through Fabcraft for everything needed and picked up a 64 Gto Muncie 4 speed. With all these parts I'm at just under 4 grand spent. And still needing more to complete the conversion. So I Guess what I'm saying is it depends what you want to spend your money on too do it right.

Back around 2001 I had the slim-jim in the 2 dr sedan rebuilt by a 78 yr old transmission guy who worked on those cars back in the 60's. That car was my daily driver for several yrs and I had no problems out of the rebuild. Sold the car in 2008 and it was then changed over to a Muncie.

Now have a th400 behind the 389 in my '63 with a 2.87 rear end. I haven't done any highway cruising yet but I don't regret having a th400.
