Can anyone tell me if this seems like a decent kit? Anything bad about it?

looks pretty nice , no clutch kit of course and a little pricey but nice
  you could probable piece one together cheaper but it might take a while  so if your ready to
do the swap right now I would go for it

GO SELL CRAZY SOMEWHERE ELSE WE ARE ALL STOCKED UP HERE

I contacted some Ebayer's that bought this kit from them and they all said it was a really nice, clean, complete (except clutch) set up.
They quoted me 2300 for the small block kit, 400 extra gets a rebuilt transmission but the transmission that comes with works fine (just not rebuilt)
They're only an hour away from me so shipping is not an issue.

Looks like a good kit, I like the idea that the trans is known good, when I did mine I was holding my breath when we first started it up and put it in gear. Expect to spend another $500 for MANDITIORY items. You'll need easily an another $1000 if you have to piece another console together. With all that said Its worth every cent!!!!! Bad, let me know if you have any questions, ready to help!
Here's what I see missing:

Manditory
- Pilot bushing for end of crank.
- Clutch pedal assembly firewall bracket (small bracket goes through firewall)
- Offset dowels for bellhousing alignment, (usually 0.007)
- 10.5 inch clutch and pressure plate. (23 spline)
- Lower Shifter boot
- Throw-out Bearing
- Exhaust manifold flange gasket (2 ea.)


If using a console
- Console shifter boot
- CONSOLE SIDE COVER 1966-70 B-BODY
- Drivers side 4 speed chrome trim
- Console decals
- Console carpet
- 4 Speed Top Cover plate
- Carpet*
- 4 Speed Console*


Consumables to Purchase
- Interior Paint*
- Plastic Adhesion Promoter*
- Semi-gloss black paint
- 3M spray adhesive
- 0000 steel wool
