I can't speak for a e body but after putting one in a b body I'd wait on Jamie's transmission. I'm fairly happy with mine but for what I spent to make it that way of his transmission would've been on the market that's the route I would've took.
I don't know what costs you inccurred on your B body install, the Passon 5 spd is $4200 that's just the tranny, you supply everything else,...My Keisler B body TKO 600 .64 OD 5spd set up was $4500, that's transmission, bellhousing and cover, SFI flywheel, Sachs BorgBeck pressure plate, Sachs Kelvar clutch, hyd throw out bearing/master, repro pistol grip shifter and shifter boot, crossmember, and mount, and a balanced 10,000 RPM new driveshaft and joints, speedocable, and assorted hardware,...The last kit I did came in at $4300 complete as mentioned above

Getting deep in my Cuda project and trying to decide on trans. How much cutting and fabbing is needed to install the Tremec 5 speed in and E Body. The car already has the "stick" tunnel, so what needs to be torn up, if ness.
Or should I just wait for Jamie's 5 speed.
I had one in my 62 b body and if you got lots of HP & Torque forget it, If your going to shift it over 6k forget it!also you'll more than likly have to cut the hump as the shifter sits on top not off set.I sold mine went to an automatic in stead

I'd believe the corvette guys are looking for cores to build, but the viper spec units? I've heard of a lot of Viper guys pushing 700-800 through their T56s without any problems. their weak point is when you start making over 900 hp, like on a twin turbo viper.  but, road racing is abusive, and can be hard on production line syncros and stuff, which can be upgraded.

The OP is doing an E body, not a B body, the Keisler E body Tremec 500/600 TKO shifter is located in the factory position, with or without factory console, I've done A,B.E applications, the 68-70 B console shifter applications are located correctly, the 71-4 B Body console and non console bucket seat applications are located correctly, as are the 70-74 E body consle and non console shifter locations, bench seat applications are located off center 3" from factory location, with the exception of the 71 B body bench, an application I engineered along with Keisler Engineering, I don't know if it hit production yet, if at all, but i have done one B body 71 benchseat application with the factory bench pistolgrip exiting thru the factory bench location

Thanks for the answers so far. If the angle is wrong, then what's the point. Cutting and all comes secondary (as well as shifter local) to me. Although I would rather not have to deal with that either.
Also, this will be a HEMI car and I see that the 600 max torque spec will come into play. So if the HP and Tor. is high, then should I bother?
I've installed several Keisler TKO 5 spd's behind HEMI equipped Mopars with no issues, and the customers have flogged the cars with no parts breakage...
If your going to go raceing with slicks, then anything can break, but if your building a nice street/strip car with 500-600HP and up to 700 ft lbs of torque the TKO can handle it, if your not willing, or can't be bothered to modify your car to accept a TKO properly installed, then a TKO isn't for you...

I'm upgrading and installing a t56 into my car. No kit for this. I will be cutting whatever I have to in order to get the proper driveline angle. You can do anything if you're not afraid to cut up your car.
Have you considered jamie's OD gearset for the 833? Gears 1-3 are basically the same as 727 with 4th being .80. The OD ratio isn't as good as the .64 available in the TKO's however if you're building for max torq and didn't need to run a super high rear gear it could still be a good combo. And you know everything will fit right because the guts go inside a regular 833.
Your talking about Jaime's 4 speed OD setup, not his yet to be released 5 speed OD setup which was the unit being talked about.
Yes I am talking about his 4 speed OD gearset rather than his 5 speed, which while would it looks very nice is not yet on the market. The 4sp is still an option if the OP wants something he can buy now.

I did use his 4 sp OD in my HEMI Dart, nice enough unit, but I was looking for something a little "newer". The engine will have in the 670 or more HP, so whatever I use will need to be strong. Jamie says that the units are for "early sping" delivery.
