Hello,
I am fairly new to this board, and have just become "serious" about the purchase of a cobra kit. I am looking at the FFR kit. I know a ton of you will think I'm nuts, but I plan to put in a pontiac 455. I had this motor built for a different project, but no longer have the vehicle and am sitting on the motor. It was built to the exact specifications of a project motor in HotRod magazine, so I am predicting 500 HP @ 5.200 rpm and 580 lb-ft at 3,000 rpm. IF I can fit this motor into the car, I am looking for a 5 or 6 speed tranny that can handle this power. I am not looking to drag race, just a fun car to drive and play around in an occasional autocross. Any suggestions on something that will bolt up to my bellhousing? Looking into a scattershield that will accept modern transmissions as well.
Thanks,
Tom
