Mike, that TKO600 in Moris's build looks almost like it was made for that frame. Morris has got my vote for fabricator of the year! My dilemma is that Ive got a High Tech frame and Alum body (replica of the original) and I dont want to cut the frame crossmember. I sure wanted to put that T56 in my car though, Ive got one in my 04 GTO and love it. 2000 rpm in 6th gives me 80mph on the freeway and I was hoping that with so many gears I wouldnt be changing rear end ratios for different tracks. The T56 doesnt have such a pronounced hump as the TKO. I just dont see it fitting without a lot of modifying. Ive got a plastic mock up FE engine and this weekend I'll set it in there and start measuring. If anyone out there has put a T56 in an original style frame let me know. Keisler has agreed to change the shifter location on it and do a "tune up" with a new short throw shifter. I sure would like to use it but I also want to keep the option open for going back to orignial stock before I sell it.
Michael
