decided to take out my t5 and go with a liberty built tremec tko 600 upgraded with a Lakewood sfi bell housing which is alot beefier than the stock t-5 bell need a 26 spline clutch different drive shaft but gonna make this setup work in my 71 mav. anyone done a tko 5 speed in a mav or comet? just curious hoping for minor modifacations but we all know how that goes fingers crossed...
Thanks! cant wait! this is the last winter of hibernation of my 4 year long project lol bullet proof drive train for the track wooo!!!
Hope it works great for you,I know how sometimes simple things on these cars can turn into a real project.
Let me know how this setup works for you Im going bigger engine soon and need something to handle it. good luck!
Yeah, in my 70 tunnel I had to have the whole top of the tunnel cut out and replaced because the lakewood bellhousing was to large to fit in.
What about the brace for the transmission did you use the one you already had or did you have to get a new one. If so did it bold directly up without modification?
Take a look at this thread, has a lot of good info in it. http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/so-my-car-now-has-a-tremec-tko.80140/
I have a faceplated TKO 600 in my 69.5 with a Time bellhousing, just had to tweak an already custom T5 crossmember. No tunnel mods.
