HELP C6 to Manual Conversion

[avdcav]

Okay so here goes " I am planning getting rid of my C6 and installing a manual

EM
460 nice motor I'm gonna say 400 HP nothing insane but very good runner
C6 with 3:55's ford 9"

I am now just confusing myself " Really I am doing so much reading that I have lost direction TKO T-56 Toploader etc etc.

Car is not a track car " it's a bang on cruiser and I defiantly bang on that car
and I do enjoy cruising for hours on the highway and long trips on the weekends.

Some fab work and problem is no big deal I do it everyday...

Some actual suggestions would be nice with a reason for the suggestion.
I really could care less (don't take that wrong) but honestly most of my time and money go into my Porsche cars" but I do want to be able to do 80+ without my tach pinned and looking for a gas station every hour or so.

I have decided on a few things I think are good decisions "

Gonna use the Tilton 3 pedal floor mount " I like floor mount pedal clusters
with a relocated 3 chamber MC set.

I do want a hydraulic clutch setup. My EM has the removable tranny mount and honestly I will grab a sawzall and welder in a second to change things.

Need to stay under $4500.00 after this my car is perfect" Done nothing else to do I'm good.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks to all"

Hi Dave in UK, I have a Dax with a 545 stroked 460, I have recently changed over from a Broader performance C6, to a TKO 600, I opted for a Mcleod street twin clutch, and although the pedal is heavy its just a matter of getting used to it, the ability to drive the car through the gears is far more in keeping with the type of vehicle and although early days, once the weather picks up I will get some miles on it. The clutch master is 1" and its a 7/8 slave, the 5th gear is great to allow decent rpm/speed, and with the tremec you have the choice of .64/.82, will post some more thoughts as soon as I get some Cobra time in!.

Did you have any luck with the C6 to TKO conversion? I am about to start that very thing myself in about 2 months. Any help is appreciated? If you dont mind my asking, what did it cost for the parts? How many hours of labor?
