$400 with the shifter is a good price, and that looks like one of the aluminum case models ;Sweet

There's a few guys who have installed teh things behind slushboxes. THey just use them as a range selector like a transfer case ( need to be stopped or near stopped to change ranges,) but it gives you a whole different combination in each gear. If you are really good at shifting without a clutch you could shift while moving while hooked up to a slushbox

On this box in particular how would I determine my actual final drive ratio if I had a 4.10 rear end and the brownie was in overdrive?

At one time I calculated out most all the brownie and rear end ration combinations, but , I've slept since then and can't remember how the heck to do it, but I think gear vendors has the formula on their website.

If I knew what model including the letter at the end it was, I could tell you the exact ratios it has in it and everything else about it.
