Having an overdrive is awesome. The torque capacity of the TKO 600 will give you a little peace of mind as well.

What are you currently using for a bellhousing?

If you're using a stock or Lakewood bellhousing, you'll either need to order the trans with a short input shaft, or you can use a spacer. A spacer is not a good way to go in my eyes, but others use them.

You can also upgrade to a Quicktime bellhousing. They only weigh 20 lbs and they don't require a spacer or a short input.

You will also need a new clutch disc with 26 splines.

On October 1st, I understand that Tremec will be raising their prices, and the TKO 600's will go up about $200.

I'm running a special on TKO's and Quicktime bellhousings right now. Tremec dictates a minimum advertised price, but if you need a price, then shoot me a PM or email and I'll treat you right. I give good discounts for Club Cobra members.

If your Toploader is a big in/big out, then you should be able to sell it very easily and recoup some of the TKO cost.
