Mike Forte was the guy nosotros went to see when edifice our 460 powered car. We accept a Lakewood bong, Tremec TKO, aluminum flywheel,11" diaphragm clutch.

Before that had a newly congenital toploader a very smooth operating transmission with Competition plus Hurst shifter which is for auction.

Never been a half-dozen-speed fan. The Tremec Magnum T-56's are much bigger, longer, heavier, and more than expensive....and you really don't get into a situation where yous e'er need a 6th gear. About of the engines for Cobras are a trivial fussier than nearly and just don't like to exist pulled down to 1200-1300 rpm.

The most common combination for a BBF is a Quicktime bellhousing, McLeod/RAM clutch kit, a TKO 600, and a hydraulic slave setup. Pretty inexpensive in the scheme of things and pretty bulletproof.

hopefully non a hijack of the thread, but I'grand looking at a different choice: I have a straight axle 4 link break, so if I desire to get with a v speed annihilation longer than a toploader will not work (leaves me with no rear intermission travel as the driveshaft gets as well short).

Looked at M-force transmissions, they show a 600hp capable T-5: here'southward from their website: M-Force Transmissions and Long Shifters

By and large, it can be assumed that with the available upgraded mainshaft, the Grand-Force Street five-Speed kit will handle roughly 600 hp or 500 ft-lb. of torque in a 3300 lb. vehicle running drag radials at the runway with a moderate clutch upgrade.

Anyone take any thoughts on this option? I'thou running a 460, havent dyno'ed but I'm guessing somewhere close to 500hp flywheel.

Similar option bachelor from Promotion Powertrain, MUSTANG/CAMARO Operation Transmission Transmissions/Clutches/Repairs/Parts/Gears FL

That G-Strength T5 won't last behind a large block, even if it's rated for 600 hp. Astro Performance offers a 550-600 hp T5, just the possessor has told me himself that they merely won't handle big block torque.

I'd become with a TKO 600 and not retrieve twice....it'southward non longer than a Toploader.

My married woman and I like to go on weekend road trips and I idea a 6th gear might exercise a fiddling better on the highway since I'm running 4:56 gears. But according to blykins, there's no need for a 6th gear so, my bad, I'll just heed my ain business organization .....

Didn't mean to put a bee in your bonnet, merely he was request for help and opinions. As an engine architect and Tremec reseller, I've been through this dialogue with literally hundreds of people, and have received feedback from the guys with 6-speeds and the guys with 5-speeds.

There'southward a lot to consider when you switch to a T-56 and manifestly, as you mentioned, 4.56 gears is one of them. The other things to consider are the cost (big $$$ upgrade), if information technology volition physically fit in the trans tunnel, and if you lot actually take room on some replicas for whatever kind of driveshaft any. When you tack on the actress length, the driveshaft gets really brusk and that's not a feasible situation for a solid rear axle car.

I'yard certainly entitled to offering my opinion too and I accept merely never came across a situation where a T-56 was the better pick.

blykins, I dont run into anywhere where blueblood was asking for opinions, but merely what setup people were running. Merely Im different than almost, I endeavor not to fustigate other peoples setups/equipment/configurations. I figure thaty did it the way it work for them, for what they use it for......

Well, I guess he didn't come right out and say, "I want your opinion..." but then once again, he'southward not doing a show for the Discovery Aqueduct on what transmission the Cobra replica guys like.

It's pretty cut and stale, he's starting a brand new build and is looking for information and info. I gave him my perspective based on over a decade of customer transactions and personal findings as well.

Don't go wadded upwards about it....

I'd go with a TKO 600 and not think twice....it'south non longer than a Toploader.

Thanks!! I had thought TKO600 was longer for some reason...

I would 2nd that, and add the post-obit Where exactly do y'all remember you will be driving that 150-160 mph volition be a feasible and safe option? Well-nigh of the gear headed adulthood stuff that we exercise is in the sub 100 mph range and any 4 or 5 spd volition do just fine. The 6th gear adds some fuel savings, but unless you take a really low geared rear end, yous will not be running loftier plenty rpms to have whatsoever acceleration in 6th gear until yous are at about the 100 mph range.

Also, you lot sound badder than them any ways.

I would recommend to simply keep it simple, toploader tranny, clutch fork

Either a close ratio toploader with a 3.54 rear, or

if you want highway cruising capability,

and then a wide ratio toploader, with a 3.07 rear

I like the 5 speeds. TKOs have ii different 5th gears, pick your toxicant, 1 for racing and one for cruising. Check out the transmission calculators out there to figure the cruising RPM you'd be happy with...with your selected rear gear and tire size.

I went with the T56 magnum (From Brent ) in my Daytona Coupe. I didn't accept to pick the poison in this instance. And it shifts similar a dream compared to TKO 600s. It did fit in my motorcar. I have IRS and a 3:seventy rear end. 6th is great for cruising at 75 and fifth goes like a striped ass ape with the assistance of Brent'due south pocket-size cake.

BTW, I wouldn't race a new Camaro or mustang either over 100-120 mph in a Cobra. Yous'll discover out (if you lot don't know already) the 120 in a Cobra feels like 160. Now in my Coupe......
