Guest rubbercow Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I am currently running a beater 4spd manual on my SBF Z. What transmissions are everyone else using, what is suggested and what is involved in attaching the preferred transmission (adapter plates, etc)? Thanks.

y-not Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I am installing a Tremec TKO II in my 77 280z / Ferrari 250 GTO. The engine I am installing has about 370 ft lbs of torque, too much for the t-5. Bolts right in except you need the Tremec bell housing that is 3/4 inches longer.

74.5 347Z Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Is that the same type bell housing that was used in the 94-95 cobras? It seems that I heard somewhere about a different bell housing during those years. I used a World Class T-5 (which happened to be in my '86 donor car) and the JTR crossmember, hardest part was making blocks that follow the contour of the floorpan. Where my trans mount bolts up, the floor is not even. Someone used the stock crossmember and bolted/welded new mounting points to the trans tunnel. I would have went that route if I hadn't already had my "blocks" welded up and drilled out. It was a good idea, hopefully someone else will remember who it was.
