Here are some more information for Tko Universal:
The Tremec TKO is a great choice for retrofitting into the old muscle cars, but it isn't quite a direct bolt-in replacement for a four speed. There are a few areas that will require modification and/or custom parts for a TKO conversion into any muscle car.
The Tremec TKO's three rail internal shift mechanism is positioned at the top of the transmission, making it taller, wider and flatter across the top than most of the old four speeds that were common in the 1960s and 1970s. Some cars such as the 1967-1981 Camaros and Firebirds typically have ample room to install a TKO without any tunnel modifications. Other muscle cars have transmission tunnels that are barely big enough for the old four speeds, and will interfere with the TKO. Body mounts that are in bad condition will make things worse, so make sure your body mounts are in good shape before installing a TKO. Some cars can get by with just dimpling the transmission tunnel in a few areas, but on others there just isn't any way to get around cutting the tunnel and reshaping new sheetmetal around the transmission. However, the modifications can almost always be covered by the factory carpet, and with a console may be completely invisible from inside the car.
Your transmission crossmember or its location will have to be modified in some way due to the mount pad location on the TKO being further rearward than the mount pad on most four speeds. On some cars you can just move the crossmember further back on the frame rails and drill new holes, but others may require sectioning your factory crossmember and welding it back together, or possibly fabricating a new one. Before removing your old transmission, it is wise to record the height of the transmission output shaft relative to some fixed point on the car so that you have a reference point to shoot for when modifying your crossmember or building a new one. The transmission height may need to be raised or lowered slightly in the end in order to obtain acceptable driveline angles, so keep that in mind if you are fabricating a new crossmember.
The TKO at 24.07" long is not exactly the same length as any factory four speed, although it is very close to some versions of the Ford Toploader. Plan on either having your old driveshaft modified or having a new one built to work with the TKO. The TKO requires a Ford C6 pattern 31-spline slip yoke, but there are slip yokes available that will adapt the TKO to common 1310, 1330 or 1350 universal joints. You may want to keep your original driveshaft intact in case you ever decide to sell your car and want to convert it back to the original configuration.
Most four speed transmissions use a solid bronze pilot bushing in the crankshaft, but a roller pilot bearing is a good idea with almost any transmission. The TKO requires one. Make sure you install a roller pilot bearing along with the TKO.
The Tremec TKO has tapered roller bearings supporting the input shaft, and is designed with relatively tight tolerances. It doesn't have the "slop" in the input shaft that the old 4-speed transmissions have. Tremec requires that you perform a bellhousing runout check to make sure that the transmission is properly aligned with the crankshaft. If you have more than 0.005" of misalignment, you will need to install offset dowel pins to correct it.
Some cars have other challenges to overcome, such as the torsion bar front suspension on Mopar muscle cars. The support structure that the rear ends of the torsion bars attach to interferes with the TKO. A Mopar installation will either require a specially modified transmission, a serious amount of fabrication and reinforcing after removing the torsion bar support structure, or a new front suspension that eliminates the torsion bars altogether.
The areas of concern above are common to almost all TKO installations. Even considering these obstacles, the benefits of increased fuel mileage and decreased noise, heat and engine wear are worth the effort if you plan on driving your muscle car any further than just across town very often!
Keisler Engineering has overcome many of the hurdles above by modifying the transmission case and shift position to fit better in the old musclecars, and they also provide complete transmission kits that include crossmembers, driveshafts, and other conversion parts that are custom-designed specifically to mate the TKO to your car. Give them a call at (865) 609-8187 for more information on what is needed to install a TKO in your model of muscle car or street rod.
If you own and drive a musclecar or street rod, you may be paying way too much for insurance that will let you down if you have an accident! A specialty classic car insurance policy can give you much better coverage for considerably less money than standard auto insurance.

Bob Sapp
Bob Sapp, an athlete born September 22, 1972 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is an accomplished kick boxer and martial arts fighter. He is known as "The Beast" and is most famous in Japan and Korea where he has appeared in television commercials and has even released a music CD called "Its Sapp Time".
People almost always ask Bob Sapp if he is related to the Oakland Raiders defensive tackle, Warren Sapp, but he is not related in any way. He did, however, begin his athletic career in football, just like Warren Sapp, but as a college offensive lineman for the University of Washington. He won the coveted Morris Award during that time and was scouted by the NFL draft in 1997. He slipped to the third round draft pick but was picked up by the Chicago Bears as number 69 and was under contract for four years -- but with four different teams. Each team cut him within only one season. Unfortunately, he appeared in only one regular season game and, because he failed a mandatory steroid test, he was washed out of pro football.
Bob Sapp met William 'Refrigerator' Perry while participating in a Toughman boxing comptetition. He was recruited by the Japanese Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organization known as Pride and he fast became well know and a fan favorite because of his size and aggressiveness.
In Japan, Bob Sapp fought lots of well-skills Japanese fighers and won all his bouts, largely because of his overpowering strength and huge size. His fans located his 'bullrush' technique where you'd rush his opponent, quickly defeating him. He was defeated by Antoniono Rodrigo Nogueira, then the world champion, during a New Year's Eve show.
Bob Sapp became involved in K-1 fighting. He defeated the four-time champ, Ernesto Hoost by TKO. His stellar roll in K-1 ended when he was knocked out by Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic in only 86 seconds during the Saitama event held March 30, 2003. During the fight, Filipovic broke Sapp's orbital bone.
Bob Sapp has been seen on American television and may be in the process of signing a deal with a food company that produces chicken dinner products because of his reputation for eating a whole chicken before any fight. He has performed as a professional wrestler and his ever-evolving career is expected to continue change. Who knows what we will see from Bob Sapp in the future.
