I too am planning a TKX swap for my 66 El Camino. I have a Muncie four speed now, my problem is I want the 18083 trans and have been waiting since December for it to be available. Last communication I had is possibly May delivery. I am running a SBC with 3.31 gearing and 26 inch tire. I feel the 3.27 first gear and .72 OD would be best in my application. I have also ordered the trans mount, crossmember, reverse pigtail, Dakota gauge pigtail and offset shifter. Maybe we get lucky and post the installs together.
66 El Camino TKX swap
Hi guys,
No pictures to post yet, because I don't have the trans. 3.27 1st gear from MDL. hydraulic clutch. I'm going from a powerglide. I have a 3.07 12 bolt in there now, and may change gears and a truetrac.
i'm thinking about the offset shifter
and the bench seat oval boot/retainer ring. also wasn't sure about which shifter handle, they originally spec'd out the camaro handle but then recommended the tri-5 handle because they said the tri-5s were all bench seats so that should work. my seat is all the way up.
