Thanks for the input guys.
Anyone have any comments or used the TR6060 trans yet. Know if it's a P.I.T.A. to deal with / install in an F-Body?
Again, Thanks for any replys.
Marc

i could be wrong but i think a tr6060 is a little bigger than a t-56 so there might be clearence issues. I'm putting a tr6060/ls1 in my 68 within a month so i'll let you know what it takes to put one in. Good luck

A little further research is telling me that I face 2 issues with using the TR6060 in a 69 Camaro. First is the Shfter location and second is the Yoke / Drive Shaft mounting point.
Keisler, does offer a complete kit but at $3,675. It's a bit steep for me as a one shot deal. Probably end up spending that amount anyway to get the TR6060 to work. Can't these mods ever be affordable? I know the answer to that but wanna whine a bit anyway.

I have a f-body T-56 for sale with a couple thousand miles on it.. it will bolt right up to an LS3 with no hassle.

$1000 plus shipping..

Then just buy the install kit from Keisler.. It's not a refined as the Magnum but it will be nearly $2k cheaper.
