Hi Everyone,
So, I'm (very foolishly) getting ready to take the plunge in swapping out Katie's ol' cruise-o-matic for a manual. I know this has been done once or twice, but I'd love to hear if anyone has any advice on trans type or fitment issues. It'll be a lot of work, but I can't wait to row the bird around
I'm looking at a 5 speed. Currently eyeballing the Tremec TKO 500 or the keisler rs400. Bellhousings are available, they're small-ish, you can move the shifter around a bit so it fits far enough back... And you can get a hydraulic linkage...
Anyone have any experience with either of these? or swapping in a manual at all?
The 390 isn't huge (about 400hp/350ft/lbs), but, I want to make sure that I don't tear something up. I want to do this once, correctly.
Hopefully wife doesn't kill me...
Thanks in advance,
Benjamin
