Manual Trans and a Big Block.

Hi all,
What 5 and/or 6  speed trannies are out there that will hold up to, and fit a 600+ hp Big Block. The engine is a built '73 LS4 454. Going in my '73. Another post about tranies got me thinkin'....I know, I know, be careful, Thinkin' is bad for me. LOL!  I'm maried so all my thinking is done for me...."Don't think, just do"  Thanks Folks, Cheers

Here's a place to start: http://www.keislerauto.com/gm/corvette-c3-kits.html
 
Don't know if it'll take the hp or torque tho.  Probably have to give em a call.

Cool!, Thanks Marc. I'll check it out.
 
 
Just checked it out. Looks like it will work. I'll take your advice and call just to make sure. Says it works with "muscle cars".....so...
 
Cheers

This is what I have in my Vette. They are built to take a beating, they are also geared for performance at the track. Prices are very close to the Keisler set up, they are also offering a Richmond 5 speed with overdrive and a new 6 speed too.

I'm putting one of these in my friends Cuda and one in a 67 chevelle. They have an assortment of gear ratios and trans available debending on what horsepower you have. It seems like most people are going to this trans. A bit on the pricey side but as they say, if you wanna play you gotta pay! Cruising at 70 mph at about 2k rpm is nice though.

Looks like I have several choices. Cool. The Richmond 6 speed  with OD sounds wicked. custom gears and all. Thanks for the great info Guys. Looks like I need to make some calls. Cheers

"So Bro, what cha got goin' there? Looks to me like ya got a plan, eh?" 
 

Just thinking .....with custom gears in a 6speed tranny....no reason not to have the best of both worlds. Quick times and long cruises. With a 600+/-hp fat rat I've got the power for both.... What d'ya think??   Just need to save some dust. Anybody interested in some old rebuilt Borg Warner  T10's ? I think they are all iron boxed models.

Sounds good to me.  
4 for the strip, and 2 for the road?  
Lot's of options to go with.
