RE: From toploader to tko600
By Chuck - 05/30/2005 9:20:57 AM; IP 69.146.147.183
Just finished tko 600 on 428 in a 67 mustang. Its a tight fit, my big paw doesn't fit between top trany and tunnel at all.
I had to cut some of the floor pan to fit as shifter spot fits just over to the right from original spot about 1.5" too far. I could take a pitcher of that for you. Cutting wasn't a big deal for me as car was drag raced for about 10 years and was already cut so tunnel repair was already in order. Use this input shaft to convert trany to work with toploader bell

use this fluid

you can save $1 qt at chevy dealership

use this cross member

if you have headers you need to trim some with headers but driveline angle with this is perfect. If you have headers install w/o trany and you'll see trim required, takes longer to preinstall then to grind off difference.

You'll need a c6 31 spline input shaft to convert drive shaft, find a used one on ebay etc and don't pay more than $40 for it.

Also buy a good after market shifter, I cut my shifter handle and rewelded it on to place it further back for a better shifter location, but I'm 6'4" and my seat is slid back as far as possible. On my dads I plan to use a hurst pro comp. shifter lever and drill holes in it to better locate.
Also check out the links below for more info or email w/ specific questions.
