Hi

I have a 67 rsss, 350, 4 speed muncie, 9" ford rear end with 411's
I would like to put a 5 speed in and get my rpm down on the highway, but keep the 411's.

Any ideas, sugestions, websites, manufacturers, experiences....?

Thx
Tom

I can't say anything good or bad about the Richmond Trannys but I can say that they are rated far below the 600 - 650 ft lb. rating of the Tremecs. I think they are more rated like 450 ft lbs.

Tremac, All I got to say, if they hold up in Marks car, they hold up.

I have the old 4+1 in my car and can say nothing bad about it. I think it's rated at about 450-475 ft-lb

However, their new 5 speed overdrive has a (conservative) 600 ft-lb torque rating.
