That's good to know, last time I was checking into TKO's was a few years ago. I think they're like a grand cheaper than T56's Plus, I really don't need a 6th gear.

TKOs are fine as long as you don't try to shift them with your purse. ;D
The problems I've seen with TKOs are people who don't know how to drive them, trying to use ATF instead of synchromesh fluid, and trying to use a mechanical clutch linkage instead of hydraulic. Silversport was great to work with recently one an old mustang when I put in a Ram clutch and hydraulic throw out/slave cylinder set up in a TKO600. I think you can get a bellhousing for about any popular engine for that trans as well.
Side note, that was the first car I ever had to measure bell housing run out on. Apparently there's offset dowel pins available to move it over on the block to get it centered.

I like my ol clutch cable.
With me busting through 3 transmissions, I was questioning my driving abilities. I never POWER shifted it, I had the cable adjusted correctly and of course using an aftermarket shifter with correctly set shift-stops. Nothing really breaks on the transmissions, the syncro's just go all to ****.
I've used every form of fluid possible in them....Synchromesh did work best on the last one. It lasted the longest as well.

I do believe it has reached the stage where the wheels are more expensive than the whole car is.

I'd get an aluminum block LS motor, but swap on a carb style intake and some smooth traditional looking valve covers, mount the coil packs higher or on the front of the motor
Or a distributer conversion
Then it'll look just like a 351w

I at once considered a traditional 302 based 347. Something simple....375-400whp with some good RPM range.
