I have the TKO-500 behind my 468 Stroker with a bench seat. The only thing that I have not done yet is try different top plate configurations.

I went from column auto to floor 4 speed then 5 speed. Since I used the 4 speed templet and THEN went to 5 speed, the stick is a little close to the bench. It wasnt an issue with the 4sp as it was further forward. That said, I need a new carpet anyway, so I will try and "Clock" the top plate and it should be close to where it should be so I can move the seat forward. But no one drives it but me so its been ok.

Plus, 80 MPH with a 28" tire on the car is like 2200 rpm I think. 100 MPH isn't 3,000 rpms..

The OD transmission is the best money you can spend!!!
