Devon thanks, Im lucky to have a good friend that knows how to work metal and weld. The Trans is a temec TKO 600 with a 1st 2.87 2nd 1.89 3rd 1.28 4th 1.00 and 5th .64. Havent got around to the rearend yet, but planning on 3.55 or 3.73 .
Did you use an OEM bell housing? I was wondering about a T5 from a mustang or F-body, but, I read somewhere the mounting holes were canted 15 degrees. You used a TKO, was it a kit? What shifter did you end up using? Thanks. Looks good!
Bar50 I used a OEM bellhousing and bought the TKO kit from Classic Motorsports group. Check their website, they offer complete kits that come with all you will need, even set you up with a new drive shaft with correct yolk and u-joint..it came with a hurst shifter with your choice of handle... John
Really nice set-up. How did y'all roll that lip like that? Did you replace the tunnel, or were you able to do that in the car?
very nice job, now the big question...is the carpet goin a fit? I'm actually serious cause with my richmond 5 spd conversion the hump had major mods (got alot bigger) and i just ordered new carpet but worried i'll come up short on the sides by the door sills? Gord
I bought a non console 4spd floor hump from National Parts Depot for a chevelle and a friend made up a piece for the top of the tunnel and welded it together to try and get a cleaner factory look.
Thankfully the carpet just fit. To fit the tranny the tunnel had to get alittle taller and longer for clearance. John
As anyone here ever used the Keisler kit??If yes how much is it and does it cover all the parts needed?
