- no frame cutting (if that's possible)- not possible with either trans
- fun factor (decent OD for cruising)-- either one ok T56 double OD 5th & 6th
- factory-looking shifter setup - someone else will have to answer
- will live behind this motor with street tires - T56 is better IMHO
I was under the impression the TKO600 could make it in there without cutting but I guess I was mistaken. I am still curious as to if this cut would compromise the car's structure or not? It seems if this had no purpose, the factory would not have put it there.
This car is a restomod. It is pretty much original except the following:
- changed color (originally light blue)
- aluminum radiator
- electric fans
- Sandon AC compressor
- the normal bolt-on performance goodies (headers, FF steering gear, aluminum heads, rear gear, limited slip diff, Holley carb, etc.)
- had to replace the transmission case and most of the innards years ago (transmission was WRECKED when I bought the car)
I know this is not a 69 R/T but would I be killing the car's value to make this significant mod to it? I just feel this will kill some of the "number's match" aspect doing this.
I can let you know here soon. I just ordered the TKO 600 from SST to install in my '72 Charger. It is expected to ship the day after Christmas.
Id your car a 727 car or a 4sp already? What was the cost of the kit if you don't mind me asking?
