Top loader shifter location

[rcadd1ct]

I am looking at replacing my top loader with either 5 or 6 speed.

Anyone have a measurement from the engine block flange to the chrome swifter arm base?

Thanks all.

Most of the the Tko/tkx transmissions fit into the stock toploader shifter location. Not sure on any of the other ones.

You need to ask your self do I really need 6 gears. I'm running a TKX with 3.70 gears. 2100 hundred in 5 gear at 75 mph and plenty of pull to 100. Could not be happier. Bolts right in with no issues.

How tall are your tires? Calculated with the tremec app comes out to 30” tall.

My tires at 26” tall.

Will need a belhousing for a small block of 6.925 inch height or Bell plus spacer that equals that...
Do not have info for big blocks...

I was running BFG 255/60/15s witch are 27" tall. I just switched to 275/40/17 and are a little shorter at 25.66 It's turning 2400 hundred now. The speedo maybe a little off now.

I am at the buy once cry once. Thinking 6 spd as it handles more torque. Also can take off in second for 0-60 acceleration and then first for normal driving.

Live in Texas so I have been on the 85mph posted tollway that you can pass a cop doing 90ish and them not care.

T56 can get .50 second overdrive 6th.

Thinking of this one……

TKX handles well over 600HP and can shift in the 7000 RPM's

I like the oil pan and headers.... are the headers for a 32-34 roadster ?
