Which tremec tranny?

[bullitstang1313]

I'm looking at getting a new tremec tranny for my stang to replace the 4-banger T-5 that's falling apart. Where is the best place to get a tremec? By best place, I mean good price and good shipping. I'm not sure which tranny I want to get yet. Anyone running a 6-speed in a fox? The car is my daily driver right now, and its raced occasionally, but I haven't decided if I want to go with a 6-speed or the tko600.

Many different choices in Tremecs.

TKO600: 26 spline input shaft standard. Has the 2.95 first gear and optional .82(I think) overdrive.
TKO500: 10 or 26 spline input shaft. Has a 3.27 first gear. Exact same as TKO600 in strength. Except the 10 spline input shaft is weaker, but you won't have to get a new clutch and I perfer the input shaft being the weak point personally.
T56: 2.95 First gear. Two overdrives. Probally the best street tranny out there. Expensive.

EDIT: D&D and Mustangs Unlimited are two good places to buy them.

I just perchased a Viper Spec T56 from D&D, its not in yet but from the research I have done its the best street tranny for high horse power app. out there. 650ft/lbs of torque 26 spline input, 2.66 first gear, .5 sixth. This comes as a kit or alone, the kit has every thing for install except a clutch...$3700 USD.

$3700 for a trans!!!!....Hell I'd paid LESS for my Procharger!!....I got everything I needed for my TKO-600 install including a SFI steel bell from macloud, for a little over $2,000.
