RE: Forte's too but I never had to cut my driveshaft
By Terry - 10/12/2004 7:06:29 PM; IP 66.124.247.2
The Tremect TKO will fit in a 68 Mustang Fastback with a 390 provided some area around the original 4 spd top loader shifter hole is removed on the front and right side of the opening. That's if you install the engine and TKO as a whole unit. If you only remove the 4-spd toploader and expect the TKO to bolt right in - THINK again. Measure twice and cut once. The TKO is wider and taller. The circular shifter base is 3" in diameter and sticks up. The TKO shifter mounting stub sticks up another good 4". It's a wise idea to fill the tranny in advance. I used a cutting wheel and sheet metal nibbler to make the required hole in the floor. The final shape of the hole looks like a jig saw puzzle shape. Good luck.
This thread, so far...
