go with the tkx. no floor mods supposedly, and way better shifting and power handling ability than the tko. you definitely want the overdrive in the modern world. but it depends what you want to do with the car.
I plan on getting a TKX hopefully in the next winter or two.
Want to get opinions and points of view, pros and cons for comparison. Lets say the car is generic street driving and occasional test and tunes or exhibition type race. (Not, all outs or brackets or money)
healthy 440 with 30" tires gears are 3.55 car weighs 3000
Either will be equipped with a hydraulic clutch.
Each kit purchased from dealer with new or rebuilt parts as a kit,
The TKO 5-speed and all parts is about $6000
The 833 4-speed and all parts is about $5000
nostalgia or originality don't matter, looks don't matter, whats the best transmission for drive-ability, longevity, fun factor?
Thanks Henry
The TKX should be better in every respect except price and loss of "originality." Overdrive will let you use 4.10 or 4.56 gears and still cruise in the fast lane @ a reasonable RPM. As it is now, with 3.54 gears and 28" tires, my engine runs faster than I care for @ cruise while the car cruises slower than I care for
