You can do serious trannys if you have enough money. I really looked into sequential shifting road racing types. But at $8500 for the box and multi plate small diameter clutches your into it another $2500.
So my more practical TKO 600 kit from Kiesler was only $4700 for the auto to manual conversion. By the time it was in it was about $6000
The road race tko 600 with .82 od is the way to go. Something like mid $2000 The add on blow proof bell housing and nice internals it is $1500 or less.
If you only need a 4 speed "TEX racing" are great. Order any gear ratio.
Is your motor up?

Check with D&D Performance. They have a Chevy/Viper T56 that works with a standard bellhousing, your original clutch and linkage, mechanical speedometer and stock shifter location. Good for 750 FT/LBS of torque or more.
