if your curious, I am going to run a TKO 600 for a mustang (67-70), the only tranny mod is a $1 bill size cut in the tunnel brace (underneath). Check Keisler Engineering (Keisler Engineering, Inc. The best 5-speed and 6-speed transmission systems | Classic car transmission | camaro transmission | corvette transmission | mustang transmission) They make complete kits. No destroying the tunnel as you would think. The c- 6 option for an automatic is not a bad option anyway. Cheap tough trans, a little drag but easy to remedy. There is also nothing wrong with small blocks! I was just trying to say for the cost associated with stroking them, they are more expensive to enlarge than a 460 for the gains.
