I saw this on Ebay and thought it might be a good deal. Just starting down that road and with all the threads on swaps, just wondering if this was a good start and if not, why?

The carbon fiber shifter is worth it alone! Just kidding.

This kit has a 260 trans which isn't quite as desirable as the 265.
 
Here is a discussion of why a 260 isn't as desirable as a 265 - I think the short answer is no speedo drive and less reliable:
 
ya, don't bother.

There are plenty of G265s out there and you can get all pieces for it to convert from auto relatively easy.

The hard thing to find is the G265 shift platform, but @halboyles is supposed to repro that soon.

@sfdon may have a repro shift platform for that too, I think he posted it a while back - could be wrong.
