I have a 383 that I would love to be able to put a 5-speed behind..
I would love a Keisler kit, but way out of my price range right now,
but someone pointed me to a link where I see Quicktime sells bellhousings
to mate a 383 to a variety of different transmissions..
I'm thinking the adapter to the Ford TKO 500-600/TR3550/T5 Mustang
Transmission would give me the best chance at finding a decent transmission
at a reasonable price, but then I wonder what to do about pilot bearing,
throwout bearing, and will my stock fork work with whatever throwout bearing is used, etc..
Has anyone ever tried to do a 5 speed swap without buying a complete kit?
Any help would be great!!
over 3000 RPMs at 60 is killing me when I need to take the highway to get anywhere from my house :(
