I did a complete drive train transplant in my garage... wheel bearings, rear gear change to 3.27, drive shaft, drive shaft mounted e-brake, transmission (TKO600), clutch, flywheel, engine.

The engine was custom designed and built by Keith Craft from raw castings. We started with a 460 base engine and stroked to 514, mated the bottom end to a TWM stack induction manifold. Makes 765HP at 7,000RPM, 700lbs TQ at 4,500RPM. Redline is an amazing 7800RPM for this 8.8L engine. Figured the 3550TKO transmission would not stand the stress. The TKO600RR is a beautiful upgrade... close ratios with a useable overdrive. First gear shift point is now 60MPH... perfect for a engine with this much HP & TQ.

This is one scary ride now. 0-60 times under 3sec with slicks. 1/8th mile in the 6 sec category.

The 3550TKO transmission that was removed worked flawlessly. Anybody out there want it?
