Change the tranny to a wide ratio toploader, and change the rear gears to 3.07, and you won't need a 5 speed.
The new Tremec TKO's with closer gear spacing are like a wide ratio toploader with an overdrive. If you use a new tremec, and gear the rear appropriately with respect to 1st gear ratio, then you won't need the overdrive. If tremec made their tranny with gear spacing similar to a close ratio toploader, then you could use a overdrive for highway cruising. That is exactly what Richmond does with their 5 speed, it's kind of like a close ratio toploader with an overdrive. If you decide to get the richmond, opt for the 3.04 first, and gear the rear with eithere 2.88's or 3.07's. |
Scotty, many have found the right combination to be the new Tremec T-600 5-speed and a 327 rear end. This is what I would put in if a T-56 6 speed didn't fit.
