Awesome , Jamie just started supplying 855 5 spds but it will take a while to catch up with the back log , great trans though .
Hurst can supply a complete Tremec tko conversion similar to Keisler but with far better service if you wixh to go that way ,
The T56 magnum is another option but requires major floor surgery to fit it .

I recently had a Tremec 5 speed put into my 70 Cuda. It had a 4 speed and a 3:91. The shop already had a used Tremec that they sent to Keisler to get rebuilt and bought the rest of the "kit" from them. I also had the 3:91 changed out to a 3:55. 60mph is now 2,300rpm instead of 3,800rpm. Only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

I have used the 833 OD in most of my cars , it offers a .71 OD ratio & is basically a bolt in , I don't have the cash for Passons 855 for now & wasn't overly impressed with the Tremec option .
4.10 = 2.91 in OD , 3.91 = 2.77 , 4.56 = 3.23 , 3.55 =2.52 etc using the 833 OD
