Hello bashcraft

Are the Keisler gearboxes strong or weak?Does`t the Camaro gearboxes fit the Corvette? Which year should fit?

The TKO from Keisler or any of the other vendors will hold onto 600 ft lbs of torque. Many are behind higher horse power cars and are surviving just fine. Pretty tough transmission.

Just any TKO will not fit properly into you car. We make it into a complete bolt in kit.

There are several pieces needed to do the conversion.
