Is there a Tremec that will replaces a Ford 3 speed or 4 speed toploader?
Yes, a shortened input shaft Tremec 3550 or TKO500. If you are willing to change the clutch to a 26 spline, a TKO or TKO600 with a shorten input shaft can be used. A second option is to use a spacer plate to make up the difference in length of the Tremecs.

I was considering swapping a big block in place of a small block in a 1968 mustang. The car has a C-4 now. Do you have a gearbox that will take the torque and a conversion kit?
Yes - What you will need is a Tremec TKO, TKO500, or TKO600 with a shortened input shaft to bolt to a stock bell housing or aftermarket scattershield. We now offer cable operated big block scattershields so that you can take advantage of the smooth operatng clutch cables kits we offer.

Do we offer a Pro5.0 mid shift kit for Tremec 3550/TKOs and the new Tremec TKO500/TKO600?
Yes we do. We have kits for both the older 3550/TKOs and the new TKO500/600s. The kits come with a rear position cover and is a much better choice over the Tremec stock offering for the same money.

Can I install a Tremec 3550 into a 65-66 Mustang without cutting the floor to get the proper drive angle?
No, the Tremec 3550 and TKO are much too tall in the main case and needs more room to achieve the correct drive angle. If the transmission is allowed to hang down, the case is exposed to road clearance hazards and will cause vibration, especially when decelerating. To properly install a Tremec 3550 or TKO into a 65-66 mustang, the floor trans tunnel should be raised about 1.5”.
