    That'll make a happy car!

    I've done the TKO in one car and the TKX in the other. And I love 'em!

    What's the deal with Autogear? Not as beefy as a M22 rockcrusher by GM?

    It lasted 10 years in Stacy's 11 second 72 GS. And he isn't exactly easy on it. Lol

    Very nice!

    Did you have any issues with runout on the mounting to the bell housing? Did it take offset dowels?

    Stacy had to offset the bell about .007

    One piece of advice he wanted me to say is to use the $120 lakewood dowels with the set screw. Stay away from the cheap $30 set
