How much torque will they take? Slicks? I am considering trying to put one behind a 455 buick motor in my International KB gasser project. Will it hook to the gm muncie style bellhousing? Is there something easier that doesn't cost 3 grand? Any help would be appreciated. Chad
Not sure but my dad has one behind his 575hp gasser with 488 gears. He has been nice to it so far as he breaks the car in..
That's neat, how hard was the install? I was hoping the wide gear ratio's would be ok with my high torque low rpm engine.
I bought a new one 5? years ago and put it behind my flathead great transmissions they are good for 600 hp they are all over craigslist for around a grand and the junk yards should be full of them by now
I hope to really abuse this thing and have over 500 ft lbs of torque. Slicks and hopefully some HAMB drag fun! Does anyone know what the Viper upgrades are?
steel shift fork bronze shift pads and billet sliders for third gear I crushed my stamped sliders in third and upgraded every thing http://www.ddperformance.com/T-56%20Parts.htm
I think you may want to look at the TKO 600 5 speed, they have a real low 1st, with all the overdrive you would want. I run one in a GMC ZZ-4, but not with slicks. works great.
