The V8 Speed &amp; Resto Shop crew installs a Tremec TKO-600 from Modern Driveline complete with a hydraulic throwout bearing assembly for easy action and an MDL clutch for positive grab behind the big block Chevy V8 in a 1969 Chevelle. The Tremec TKO 5-speed manual transmission handles 600 pound-feet of torque and the Modern Driveline kit puts the shifter in the original position on our \u201869 Chevelle.<\/p>\n<h3>The 1969 Chevelle<\/h3>\n<p>V8 Speed &amp; Resto Shop had taken on this 1969 Chevelle as a project car in the past.
