Good advice, I forgot about the QT bell, it certainly is a nice piece and handy as it comes in the deep version.

Which TKO 600 aftermarket transmission mount maintains the correct driveshaft angle and fits a Mustang application direct out of the box?  It has been posted on other forums that the Dark Horse trans mount positions the transmission too low and brings the fan too close to the radiator.

McLeod steel flywheels are 28 pounds and 35 pounds. Which one would be best for a 3500 pound, TKO-600 equipped street driven Mustang?

This is a great thread. Hope all the details and requirements can be detailed so this can be hassle free conversion. I really want a TKO for my ā€œSā€ code 1968 Fastback, but do not want to cut the car up too bad or purchase two or three shifter plates to discover the shifter that properly fits the factory hole in the tunnel.

I use a McLeod aluminum flywheel on my FE/TKO setup, with 4.00:1 gears and 275/60-15 drag radials.  I love the aluminum wheel, no driveability issues and revs very quickly.
