A few things to note when looking at pictures. This is a '69 440 Barracuda. The major upper crossmember hacking wouldn't be necessary on E and later B bodies. I've heard that there are issues on early B-bodies. I didn't want to cut the transmission to fit under the stock loop so I cut the loop out and replaced it with a boxed loop--no big deal on this since it was 318,auto, 7.25 originally but might be a big deal on 340 car etc so the Keisler set is the way to go if you don't want to hack up a valuable car. Note on driver's side bottom I used upper hole since lower hole is almost off of the bellhousing. Also shifter is made by Pro 5.0 since stock left a lot to be desired. TKO-500 and 600 take a different shifter than the previous Tremecs and TKOs and the only companies that make these shifters is Steeda and Pro5.0. Trans mount is Energy suspension typical GM mount but any old part store mount could be used. Slip yoke is MW but any junkyard 31 spline ford yoke can be used i.e. C6, toploader and some AOD's. I'm using a Ram 6-paddle metallic disc but any GM 26-spline disc can be used just get the same size as you had. On the throwout bearing pics from left to right is Jeep/new dodge throwout bearing, 18-spline hemi trans bearing in the middle and 23-spline throwout bearing on right. My trans was used out of the box with the exception of cutting the front bearing retainer down from 4.850 to 4.80XX. no modification were made to the input shaft. p/n's are Napa N4093 for throwout bearing('97 4.0 Jeep Wrangler application and many later Dodge trucks), pilot bearing is Napa B65174('95 Mustang GT), Mopar 4338876(the one that fits in torque converter hub but has bronze bushing instead of bearing) Use bearing from B65174 and disgard outer housing and use housing from 4338876 and disgard bronze bushing.I spaced the bearing assy. rearward with big .125" thick washer to ensure that it had full contact with bearing surface on input shaft.Trans is P/N 5008(Ford application) Last, try not to look at the nice wiring in the car, among other things. Many attachments coming.
