Re: Ratchet's Blazer - 1970 2wd with Original paint
I've found a Tremec 3550 for sale for $1500 with a steel bell housing. I'm seriously considering it. They were the predecessor to the modern TKO's. It has a little lower torque capacity than the TKO-500/600's which I really don't need anyway. It has the same gear ratios as the newer TKO-500's, which I like the gear ratios in the 600 better. But I can get rid of the 700-R4 quicker for half the price. I did go check it out in person and the gears look almost perfect inside, they have very little wear on them. Now I just need to make a decision and run with it... AFTER HRPT, of course.
