5 speed cost?

[VTGreg]

I'm in the process of switching an newer 2F into my '78 40 and I'm giving serious thought to swapping an H55 in there while I'm at it. I've searched but haven't found too much on what this swap typically costs. Can anybody who's done this chime in? I'll do some light wheeling with my truck but mainly I just plan to drive it and enjoy it. If I go this route what can I expect to spend? Thanks.

Are you doing the work or having it done for you?

 

[VTGreg]

Good point, I should have clarified. I'm planning to do the work myself.

Cost of tranny, driveshafts may need reworked and you'll need to figure out something for a rear emergency brake, different rear brakes ie disc conversion. crossmember might be an issue as well. too much money for one gear. I'd buy bigger tires and be done with it.
