It came with an adaptor for a Ford gear box. However he wanted to use it with an SM420. We went to the Gear Vendors shop and got the necessary adaptor, a shaft, and I believe some electrical components. The additional parts came to almost $900 and they don't give any discounts. It worked fine in the truck but kind of pricy in my view. A driveshaft mod was also required which was about $150.
As Jerry states the key would be to have some machine tools to make some of this stuff it could be more reasonable.
