It looks like one but it's not going to work in your Corvette without an offset shifter

Here's my TKO 600, I like to put my parts on the furniture until I install them, sometimes they are there for months, I suppose that's one reason I never got married



Note the offset shifter location

Motorhead, thank you for the pics and info. I am buying the quasi offset shifter from Keisler, cannot send the transmission for a transformation because I am in Brazil - not worth the trouble and the transmission had a very good price.



Do you think it will work?.

Looks like a ford TKO600 to me. Have the same numbers on mine and as I understand it from the paperwork, I remember it being a ford TKO600.

Hope I am right.
