New guy with T56 question.

Hello every one. I'v been reading post on this web site for quite some time now. Great site!

I have a '65 coupe that is going under a serious transformation. I'v got it on a rotisserie. Stipped every spec of paint and repaced all the rust. I've gutted the back half of the car and built a new full length subframe that is 32 3/8" wide (same as the front subframe). It follows the profile of the stock frame thought so that I can keep a back seat (custom no doubt).

I ordered the front suspension from Scott's Hot Rods. It is daul A arm air bag set up. I haven't settled on the rear suspesion yet. It will be some sort of four bar. I'm using a 9" that will be flanked by a pair of 345/30/18 Michelin Piolits.

I want to build a 427W and couple it to a 6-speed. This brings me to my question:

Which trans (Tremec, Borg Warner, ect)?
Where can I get one?
What mods to do (Trans tunnel mod, ect)?

Thanks, Kirk.

Thanks.

I've looked into those. I'll try to talk to them on the phone Monday.

BTW. I'm interested mainly in the wide ratio 6-speed. I'd like to have a .50 top gear.

I was thinking 3.73. I would think that If I went lower than that that first gear would be about useless. The tires are about 25.125" tall. 14" wide, wall to wall Like a steam roller!!

The whell that I'm seriously considering are the Budnik "Cobalt".

My main use for this ride will be cruising the streets.

But I do want the show it and take it to the track every now and then.
