Tko-600 .82
Hi Jason,
I agree that the TKO-600 .82 is a great fit, lighter and will work fine in most applications. The bellhousing, clutch kit (26 spline) is a bolt in with the short input installed.
As for the T-56 Magnum, it does fit many applications and can "split" the overdrive so you can have the best of both worlds....

At the high speeds where the gear split advantage of the T56 would be useful, a Cobra has crashed into the aerodynamic wall.
The higher weight, physically bigger in every respect T56, offers little (if any) advantage and does it at a higher cost.
Don't get me wrong, the T56 is a cool trans, just not in this application.
The TKO is smaller, lighter and cheaper just a better fit in my opinion.
