Chris L,

Given your 340 or so RWHP (warm 302, or 351W), and cruising and playing on the street intended use, I think you'd be happier with the T-5Z (2.95 1st) for this application.

Shifts like a Honda, and the gear ratios are right. You'll have to get it from a trans shop that can swap out the .62 OD gear for something a little taller like a .73, or .80. And it fits any Five Oh 5 speed bellhousing, the cable clutch fits.

I got mine new, blueprinted, with the .73 OD, and have 3.55 diff gears from Liberty Racing Transmissions in Livona, MI. Put a Hurst shifter, added Hurst Classic shifter ball, fed it Mobile 1 ATF, and 3 years, 16,000 miles, still going strong. I love the way this trans goes up and down gears.

Tremec T-600 may be overkill, and substantially more expensive.
