Well hell.... I knew I was forgetting something. Yes, I had T56CableSpeedometer.com convert the tailhousing to a drive bullet. The guy does nice work and the conversion has been problem free.
As for cost, it's less than a Gear Vendor's Overdrive. I paid $650 for the trans with converter from a local salvage. It was a 100k trans and the oil was clean, so all I did was install new solenoids and a filter ($100). Trans fluid was about $60. Driveshaft was $350 shortened, new joints and balanced. Speedo drive was $350. Flexplate and crossmember mount around $100. Lines and fittings about $75. The EZ-TCU bought on special for $650ish. Altogether was right at $2400 total.
Mind you, I did the conversion over Christmas of 2019, before the world went off the rails. I'd guess if parts are still available, expect 20-30% inflation.
