Rick, the Tremec rep suggested we use the TKO 5 speed. TCET5008. 1st @ 2.87 and 5th @ .64. This transmission is a mechanical clutch but with crappy knees wondering if I should upgrade to a hydraulic clutch. I had someone recommend a double Kevlar clutch but have not gone down that road yet. Getting back to cams I found a Crane cam similar to 587-607 with 112 LSA but it is for a BBC (#139011). Is there an off the shelf or is it custom grind for FE. Also, you mentioned Torrington bearings to spin the cam on. Do they make a solid bearing or are they needle pin bearings? Thanks for your input, attention in the planning stage hopefully will save a lot of headaches later.
