vector1 If you have a chance, look into the new richmond 5 spd super street. The trans is spec for 600ft of torque and HP. It has a 2.89 or 7 first gear with and .77 overdrive. This will give you the best of both worlds. you can mount the orginial shifter of the cobra on this trans. I also think that the richmond is stronger. It comes with the GM input and turbo 400 output shaft. The only thing you need to check is the input shaft length. Depending on the bell housing, you may need to cut .300" off the front of the input. If you don't it will per wearout your thrust bearing and wreck your motor. I have a richmond 6spd in my car but not for racing. It's only good for 450hp and torque. My race trans, G-Force 5 spd, thats another story. IMO I would sell the 600 and get a new Richmond, what's the price differents? The new trans has all the updates over the old 5 spd trans plus bigger gears for load. Good luck Rick L.
