Re: 5-speed tranny
I used a Tremec TKO-600 in my '69 Camaro I built a few years back. Awesome tranny, will handle 600 ft. lbs. of input torque and shifted so smooth. If I ever build another manual tranny car/truck, it will be what I will go with again.
The T5's are not the best ones to go with unless you can find the World Class version. They were stronger and can handle mild V8 abuse. For the money, hassles and problems fitting in most vehicles, I would not recommend a T56. Do you really need a double overdrive tranny? Most don't and these things are BIG. Plan on cutting the floor to fit it.
Funny thing that I never understood, a Ford T5 that was used in tons of Mustangs, are much stronger then any of the GM T5's. Never understood why GM cheaped out on that one.
My .02 worth.
