Nope ebay is the only place so far I have seen em, Kent-Moore's website doesnt have a product list or anything, you gotta call them and IIRC only dealers can get em. Im going to talk to a buddy of mine at a dealer and see if he can order them.

ANYONE can buy direct from Kent-Moore... but best have a jar of Vasoline ready when you place an order. Keep your eyes open on eBay... used and new kits available from time to time. If you are not in a hurry... almost guaranteed you will find a lightly used kit at a good price.

Thanks, I'm not in a hurry, so, I'll just keep an eye on e-bay.......and of course on Grippy's progress! I've got kind of the same thing planned, but no time frame as of yet. My goal is to first make 500 to the wheels with my current combo, with stock cam/heads, then do the changeover.
