My comments stem from what I have read about the problems people have had with their headers and a Keisler install, leading me to believe that the output shaft is lower than stock, even with the modified case. I can't say for certain that it is out of range, but to me it doesn't sound ideal. So, from that, I would say that to get the ideal driveshaft angle, even with the modified case, you still have to cut the cross member.

exactly! ive got a t5 in my car and even though they are not the same trannies (the tko is actually bigger!) after seeing what was needed for my tranny to go in i am more than comfortable saying that i dont believe a tko, even the modified version, would fit in there nicely with no mods to the floor...pinion angle just seems like it would be too far off
i never said keislier was a bad place to do busniess,,,anf the last time i seen a price on a tko from them was 2900 bucks,, all im saying is they had and still have a learning curve,,,but have provided a service to those who choose to buy a complete kit,,that still needs modification to fit some car body styles,,
all im saying is there are cheaper ways to do it if you do your home work,,
i do not have the companys name but it was advertised in a recent fast fords mustang magazine 1700 bucks for a TKO,,and they do fit mustangs much easier then any mopar,,and they sell way more of them to the mustang guys,,,then they do mopar guys,,from what i have been told by a tremec rep at the power tour dark horse performance imports more tremec tranny then any one,,,
IMO there are 2 kinds of mopar guys,,,the rich E body hemi guys and then the rest of us every day working guys,,,all after market companies cater to the E BODY guys,,and forget the rest of us A body guys,,lol
couldnt agree more! with every word said too! lots of company's out there selling the tko's for bargain prices brand new, just gotta find em! and yes, there are two types of mopar guys, and i cant stand being associated with the former lol but thats another story
