"I'd personally want the case as well to give it more support and some of the screws for it. That works out to $154 or so." - The case is part number 1 right, but what about the other screws?
Other screws are numbers 6 and 27. 3 of #6, 4 of #27. You also need 2 of #22.

I know the NBD won't work for you, I was just referring you to that so you could get an idea of the innards of one of these lovely trannies. If you're going with all Dewalt stuff, the only machining necessary would be to attach something to the spindle. I'm unsure of the thread on the spindle, but the easiest option would be threading the center of a sprocket with that thread. Then you just screw the sprocket on and put on a washer and put in the left hand screw. Look at the end of the whitepaper to see how it works on those. It should work similarly for this spindle.
