There are a few places that will customize your tailhousing but they are in the $500.00 range, I found a member on the chevelle forum "Team Chevelle" he goes by the screen name Alloy and he does the conversions for about $350.00 and has a 1 week turnaround. I sent him my housing and he does the conversion on the tail housing and sends you the drive gear and based on your supplied information such as tire size and rear gears he sends you the correct driven speedometer gear. I was happy with the work and based on my iPhone gps I am only 1 mph off at 70 mph. I tried the Abbot X box first but I couldn't get it to work right and I know I had it set up right as I verified it with their tech line, well it sent my speedometer to around 500 mph and snapped the needle off of my speedometer. So I sent it back and went with the mechanical style conversion

Check the website for Jags that run.com. They used to offer a service to modify the tailhousing. They did it for me several years ago and it worked great.
