Default Tranny Swap

HI BOB,

THE FOUR SPEED TOP LOADER ON ERA-273 BECAME VERY UNFRIENDLY. WHEN I DRAINED IT I FOUND MORE MISSING TEETH THAN IN SEVERAL WEST VIRGINIA COUNTIES.

I'M VERY INTERESTED IN REPLACING IT WITH A TREMEC 600, FIVE SPEED. THE .64 OVERDRIVE RATIO WILL GIVE ME A MUCH NICER CRUISE CONFIGURATION.

IS THIS SWAP DO-ABLE?? KEISLER ENGINEERING ALLEGEDLY HAS A REPLACEMENT "KIT" WITH THE NECESSARY ADAPTERS. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM BEFORE BUT ONE OF THE CACC CLUB MEMBERS HAS RECOMMENDED THEM.

I GUESS MY MAIN CONCERN IS ADAPTING THE REAR TRANNY MOUNT TO THE ERA 427 CHASSIS.

ANY THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANKS - AND - Y'ALL HAVE AREALLY GREAT DAY.

BLACKJACK
