TKO 600 in a 65?

[Himark]

Road raced the 65 car in June at the Shelby meet at Hallet with about 1 day of success. The T-5 that is in the car broke the mainshaft again. Well going to opt for the better tranny now and someone mentioned I will have a clearance problem. Anyone know of such an issue.

I would opt for a g-force t-5 as some will tell you the tko is to big and need mods. Others have had good results with it.

I'd say look into the richmond 6 speed that will drop in where you t-5 was.

Yeah yeah yeah! Actually, I'm going to have to change mine out, my new engine is probably going to be a bit much for my T-5. So ROD here I come!

How much HP/TQ can the Richmonds handle? Not that I'm going to be building a 1000hp/tq monster, well not tomorrow, but maybe a nice warmed up 331 with potential of a SC.

Yep, there's some work that needs to be done. See this article.

I am waiting to have my buddy weld up the hole in my tunnel but I counldnt be more pleased with the way this combo should go down the road...And even if I get to the 400hp mark I am hoping for its nice to know this paticular trans was designed for a Viper.

The Richmond is rated at 450 ft lb of torque.
