Advice Please Fellow Vetters.....what 5 Speed Conversion Is The Simplest And Best For My C3. Make And Suppliers Please.
Both keisler and classic make conversion kits that pretty much bolt-on. I still recommend you make your cross member removable (if you have a 4-speed car). Even though it is possible to install the 5-speed with a fixed cross member it's such a pain.Advice Please Fellow Vetters.....what 5 Speed Conversion Is The Simplest And Best For My C3.

how strong are they? What max HP or TQ do they recommend? Is the 6-spd weaker?I have the Keisler and am happy with the kit and their Tech support. Works great too.
:agree:I would highly recommend making the crossmember removable. Seems that you pull the tranny for one reason or another over time and the removable crossmember really makes life alot easier. ........
Great informative thread...I would highly recommend making the crossmember removable. Seems that you pull the tranny for one reason or another over time and the removable crossmember really makes life alot easier. I have helped others do the removable crossember, I myself started with the automatic but for others make it removeable and save yourself grief.
I perssonally like the mustang T5 conversion. Both cheap and it is a good tranny
TKO 500 is good to 550 hphow strong are they? What max HP or TQ do they recommend? Is the 6-spd weaker?
the keisler tremecs transmissions will fit in a muncie bellhousing. but i think lakewood has a bellhousing for ford tremecs to a sbcGreat informative thread...
The mustang T5 are everywhere and pretty reasonbly priced. Found a TKO500 with 26 spines too. I have a GM crate Vortech 330 HP engine with the stock 4spd 70 Munsie. Would I need a need a new bell housing ? Will it be hard to find??
