The T-600 is a good transmission, and capable of handling the power and torque of the Big-Block FE engines. Five gears make a big improvement over the Toploader's 4.

Hi again Mr Jones!
I don't know much about the lineage here. The Toploader is a Ford gearbox. So Ford acquired the design from B-W? And the T-600 is a Toploader with a significant makeover? And further, the four speed Kar Kraft gearbox used in the Ford GT40 MkII was a development of the Toploader as well, yes? Any other re-incarnations of the Toploader out there?
Cheers,
Glen
