Question Transmission T-56 or T5 or TKO 500

Hello fellow Bowtie guys,

I am fairly new to this game but I have ordered an LS 427 package from Lone Star and I am putting a 408cu.in. sbc under the hood. It came out of a vette I used to own and back then I was running a Turbo 400 tranny. I intend to put a manual tranny in my cobra but I am way out of touch in the manual transmission department. I have been reading quite a bit and it seems like the T-56 is a great tranny but it doesn't sound like it fits up well with and older (mine is a '74) block without some sort of bellhousing adapter. Am I better off going with the T-5 or a TKO 500/600 than messing with the T-56 or is the hassle worth it in the long run?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice,

Greg
