Hi Tom,
With either the TREMEC 5sp (3550/TKO) or the 6sp (T56s) you will definately

Mike,
What about clearance with the heater? I know on 66 the heater dumps out right on top of the tunnel...Im talking about when you move the tunnel up...
A 4.11 rear cog would work great with a Viper T56's
2.66 first gear. That same 4.11 rear cog would become a 2.055 final drive with
the T56's .50 sixth gear. That would equate to a 2,000 cruise rpm at
70mph.
Yeah,I know all this is kinda confusing but
it's as simple as matching a trans to yo
My tunnel top isn't welded but held on by quick-release fasteners. If the
new carpet is uncut for a shifter,it will fit fine.

I'm sure you will have to cut quite a bit of the

Right now,I'm running a 3.50 rear cog in the Fab 9.
Sixth gear is pretty tall but useable and allows around 22mpg on the
highway.
However,I think a much better match for the T56
would be 4.11's or 4.30's. With 4.10's in your 12 bolt,you will see around 2K
rpm at 70mph (26" tal

You're
right. I ran the math and the 5 speed works out better. But my head is spinning
on all the variations of the 5 speed. Guess I got some comparing to

Clint I have a 66 also (chevelle).
I have been loking into 5 or 6 speeds for about 2 years now. I have probably talked to you before I'm quite certain.
I'm leaning toward the 5 or 6 speed richmond beacause of location of shifter for my 4 speed console and closer gear ratio than the TKO.

I'm sure you will have to cut quite a bit of the
trans tunnel away to clear a TKO 5spd or T56 6spd but it's really no big deal to
build a new tunnel top. If you plan on staying with the 3.42 rear cog,my choice
might be the TKO. My opinion is the T56's work better with at least
or the 66

See if it has the dual piston master cylinder. I think it came out the 2nd half of 66 model year as a safety backup.
I like the 400 ci smallblock personally.
