I see that there are some Big Block A-Bodies coming out of the weeds in Florida. Are you guys planning on going to Big Daddy's in November?
Hey Longgone: How do you like that Tremec? Did you use a kit? Has it handled much abuse?
Nice cars, all.
i assume alot of people see it....Me Too !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like this angle
Here`s my 68 Formula-S Barracuda that started life as a genuine H-code 383 4spd. car. When I bought it I found that someone had already replaced the original engine with a 67 383. I rebuilt it to stock first ,then a 383 stroker at 439c.i., now a 440-6 stroker with 496 c.i. and I replaced the 4 spd. with a Tremec 5spd.. I run it on the street exclusively, it`s a fun car to drive.
Where did you get the 5 spd from, and how much, and does it use the same Bell housing, and does the shifter mount in the same area as the 4 spd?
Thanks
Phil
Hello Phil, I`ve seen where Summit is selling the transmissions now but I bought the transmission as a kit from Keisler Engineering. I used my Lakewood bellhousing and Keisler provided the machining, driveshaft, clutch, and moral support. You have to do a little bit of cutting to the tunnel but the shifter mounts about 3 inches back and over to the center from the stock location. A small piece of steel welded to my shifter put it right back in place and I was able to keep my console. I recommend it to anybody considering a change in transmission. - John
do you think the tremec shifter location will clear a bench seat?
