[lust4speed]

Love my TKO-600 in my '67 GTO and know that I would have loved the new TKX even more. Just happened to have been a year early in making the plunge to a 5-speed.

The re-pop shifter porch makes life a lot easier than trying to fab things up from scratch. We ended up with two frame holes lining up with the re-positioned crossmember., and had to only drill one new hole per side through the frame. Used my original '67 trans crossmember without a problem. Over the years I went from original 4 speed, T400, 200-4R, and back to the original 4-speed before going to the 5-speed and used the same crossmember for all of them.

My trans and kit came from Silver Sport and they included everything needed. One of the reasons for the upgrade was not only for the overdrive but so I could stop babying the original Muncie trans and 10 bolt rear. Because of the expected abuse I went with a Dana 60 and 1350 U-joints on both ends of a new chromoly driveshaft. Depending on how hard you plan to drive yours, you can go with a stock aluminum bellhousing or upgrade to one of several scattershields offered. The trans doesn't come with the stick and a nice touch is to use a stock looking Hurst stick. I used my old Muncie stick and just drilled a second hole in the bottom and enlarged the hole that was in it so it bolted right up to the shifter stub.

Probably more, but will let others fill in the gaps.
