Need measurement. Back of FE eng. to shifter location.

FUNFER2 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-29-2010, 02:38 PM

I need someone that has a FE engine in your cobra, to measure from the back of the block to the apx. area of the shifter. Keisler/McLeod is coming out with a new 5-speed transmission, it will be shorter than the Tremec, and will have three positions for the shifter location. I will be the first street test dog for Cobras. The owner would like measurements from directly straight down from the dash to the tunnel, middle and past the middle, for placement of the shifter.

I would appreciate your help, as I don't have the engine installed.

Kevin,

Make sure you find out which bellhousing and trans they have when you get responses. Example: My TKO600 is going to have the short input shaft and Quick Time bellhousing for the short input shaft which moves the trans forward a bit.

Agreed-----

Bell- QuickTime is what I have but assume the Lakewood is the same dimensions.

Tremec TKO 500-600

What motor do you have ?
