We put a TKO-600 in my Dad's '67 Chevy II about 5 years ago. His car is pretty well stock. It bolted in right in place of the 4-speed - we did have to modify the trans tunnel. His car had the original 4-speed trans tunnel. At the time, noone made an offset shifter to come through the factory location, so we had to mod it more to make the shifter hole location in the center. I think he bought the cross-member from National Nostalgic Nova. I don't even know if CC 5-speed was around back then, if so, we didn't know about them.
Are you going to go with a hydraulic throwout bearing setup? Dad's car still has the stock subframe, so we were able to use the stock Chevy II z-bar setup for the clutch linkage. I don't know if Alston's has provisions for this or not. I'm sure you could make the stock pedals and linkage work though.
Hopefully that rambling made some sense.
One more comment, depending on how your car is geared, the standard 3.27 low gear is REALLY LOW. I would consider the 2.95 first gear.
Later,
Brandon
