Thanks Ron. I looked through your build thread... great job, beautiful car!

Thanks, nice 71


I'm starting to gather the parts for the transmission swap. I just received the new Tremec T56 Magnum today. For the flywheel and clutch I'm using a Katech aluminum flywheel, and a GM ZR1 Corvette twin disc clutch (modified for 20% increased grip). The Z-bar mechanical clutch linkage will be replaced with a hydraulic GM unit.

Got on a waiting list in mid December and received my transmission today
T56 Magnum close ratio. 2.66 first gear.




Katech aluminum flywheel




Corvette ZR1 twin disc clutch. This is the best clutch I've ever used.. great grip and very smooth engagement.
