Morris,

Let us know what you come up with working with the Kirkhams. I'm pretty sure the Kirkham frame requires mods. Shelby uses the same frame but makes mods to the engine mount towers and that is why Shelbys can use Tremecs. Maybe that is what frame configuration HiTec was using.

I would like the use of the 5th gear as well, but I also would like to know what is involved in the mod. I don't like the idea of reducing the diameter of the cross-member for stiffness and strength concerns. If all that is involve is moving a the mounting bracket, that is very doable.
