Tremec Transmissions

I have found a company that has put the T-56 Magnum six speed transmission into a 1970 Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland engine.

There is a guy there named Jeff who did this a few years ago.
The process involves a special machined adapter and a small notch cut into the crossmember.

I will call him tomorrow and get the real scoop as he was not there today.

Hey sounds great. I'd like to know the cost involved with actually putting it in an older Ford. As it always seems to be more difficult then they describe. And with increased difficulty, up goes the price! But man to be able to slam 6 gears! Remember the song "Little Deuce Coupe". I get pushed outtta shape and it's hard to steer, when I get rubber in all four (six) gears! Yeah Buddy! Now thats what i'm talking about! Gets me all giggly just thinking about it! JTS 71 Mach1

UPDATE:

I researched several companies and Keisler is a NO-GO!!

They are rude and cannot do the conversions.

However:
American Powertrain
2199 Sumerfield Rd
Cookville, TN 38506

Can handle this for old Mach 1 owners.
They have a guru named Bret who I spoke to about this and he tells me that the transmission kit package is around $5,600.00
the kit will allow the installation with a few modifications on the transmission supports in the transmission tunnel.
Basically removing material on the upper section of the brace and recapping it to allow for the larger transmission.
Note: he tells me that the hole for the shifter on the top of the tranny hump will only have to be trimmed back towards the rear of the car about 1/8th of an inch.
Also a small notch will have to be made on the crossmember support.
The transmission can be set up for thier bellhousing at $500 bucks or the expensive adapter plate at $1,000.00.
He recomends the bell housing option.
Also due to the gearing on that transmission.
3:90 4:10 or 4:30 gears only to keep it in the power band.
Any higher gears like the 3:00 that I have would not let it hardly move....lol....so new gears for me is also a must.


If anyone is interested then contact
bret@americanpowertrain.com

Thier website is at : http//www.americanpowertrain.com

They also do engines (fuel injection, supercharged, normally aspirated)
Performance Pro Engines.

Now if you have a business they can set you up as a distributer for a wholesale cost of huge savings.
You would have to get a hold of a guy named Grey Frederick at American Powertrain. Note Grey is also thier head technician.
This is what I have so far.
