Re: LT1+Tremec TKO? (ASRoff)
I asked this question about a week ago. It looks like it hasn't been done by anyone on the forum. The biggest challenge is going to be the shifter position. The rest shouldn't be to big of a deal.

Re: LT1+Tremec TKO? (ASRoff)
Unless teh Tremec has mounting bosses for the torque beam plate, it would be a nightmare to adapt it to fit. The C4 doesn't have a tranny mount so there would be no way to hold the driveline staight.
Richmond Gear is supposed to have a replacement 4+1 or 6-speed available that bolts in and has the torque beam mounting holes. Call Summit Racing for info on applications.
The ZF is complicated to repair properly and the parts are pricey, but it is a very strong tranny. Seems to have worked just fine behind the 405HP LT5 motors.

AS far as the tailshaft a little fabrication and it will work check out http://www.jdhcon/drivetrain/t56.htm
The above website is for a T56 I need a TKO-600 It will handle 600ftlbs
The richmond only handles 450-same thing for a T56 only 450ftlbs

Link doesn't work but try this site: http://www.keislerauto.com They offer TKO-600's for Sharks but they might be able to help you with adapting it to the C4.
If a ZF isn't going to support the HP/torque you are planning on, what mods are you going to do the the rear end to keep it in one piece??

Re: LT1+Tremec TKO? (c4cruiser)
Could somebody get me a measurement of how far back the shifter on a ZF is from the bellhousing flange where it bolts to the block. I've got a Tremec 3551 which I'd like to compare the measurements to. It's the same case as the TKO and the T600. Forte's performance does some shifter relocation kits for the Tremec's, so this might be real easy. I'm local to them also if something a little different needs to be made up.

The dana is spooled for now but a solid axle is on the horizon I just want to drive it this summer. May as well plan ahead.
