Reading through this thread prompted me to upload a GoPro video I took last weekend. Here is a freeway video showing its manners with the current engine / T56 / 3.36 setup. Go to 3:45 see 6th gear.

At 80mph I'm doing 3500 rpm in my 4 speed/3.70 rear end. both needles straight up. I would really like a 5 speed.

With my 3.36 gears, a 5-speed would be great. Since I have a 6-speed, I want to switch to 4.11 and then it'll really haul. Can't bring myself to spend the money though.

Could you actually use the additional gearing? I have the same 3.36, and with my stroker I can't use full throttle in first gear, and it turns the tyres hard through 2nd gear too, even with good 17" tyres.

I have to get cute with the clutch pedal to break them loose with 255/45ZR18s. The gearing will help.

That video was so cool.
The road looks barely wide enough for the cars stance.
I'd try that run on my Norton commando for sure.
That is a bad *** castle too.
Thanks for posting.

Great inspiring photos on this thread.
Summer is slowly coming to Scotland and the '76 is nearly ready.
Here's a video and a couple photos from last summer on a cruise day with some other fast cars

And just finished breaking in a new TKO 5 speed that I installed (was auto) so it's getting ALOT more miles on it, drives like a completely different car
