Anyone up to date with the Passon 5 speed?

I have been thinking about a 5 speed to replace the 833 4 speed in my 69 Barracuda. I see that the one from Passon is over $5,000, but I guess they are on back order. I have been hearing stories for several years that you have to get on a list and that eventually you get one. Does anyone here have one? Do you like it? Did it really install just like the Mopar 833?
