I'm thinking about trying a Tremec 5 speed. Are they a direct bolt in? Any advice would be nice.
Thanks

 

Talk to Richard (Gearheads 78) he installed one and really liked it. I have bought one for my 48 Olds build and look foreword to getting it installed

 

I talked to the Keisler folks at Car Craft last year. The shifter as it is made is in the wrong place. They have an adapter setup that moves it to the factory location but the guy seemed to think tha shifter hole on my car was in the center of the hump. I told him it is offset to the drivers side and he doubted me. I know the crossmember needs to be moved.

 

A guy down the road put one in his 68 Cutlass. He said it was the best thing he ever did, but he did have to modify the transmission tunnel, driveshaft and a couple of other things. He has some posts on ROP, look for Gregvm. I bought some parts from him and he is very knowledgeable.
