How far are you willing to go with this? More importantly, what are your future H.P. goals?

In order of ease and H.P.

T45 five speed: cross member can be reused with little modification and clutch pedal fabbed 20 different ways, all of them EASY.

MT3650 6 speed. New crossmember needed to keep pinion angle the same as OEM. Trans tunnel modification needed to accommodate under mount remote shifter. Early models are mechanical, IIRC '05 and later are hydraulic and require a lot more fabrication. Later models have a ford 4 1/4" bolt pattern fixed flange and will require a custom telescoping driveshaft.

T56 6 speed: crossmember supposedly can be altered to fit, mechanical clutch, IIRC shifter is in a decent place but still needs to be bent back under counsel then up. That's got to feel weird..?

TR 6060 6 speed: same as MT3650 but twice as strong and runs a twin disc. 8 bolt crank might be a must or source a 164 tooth 6 bolt flywheel that accepts the twin disc diameter.

Magnum T56: same as the T56 with more shifter location options, still not a one that's close. Most rated H.P. but only a little more than the 6060.

So? Short cuts, fab, and weak or surgery, all out fab and strong? I like challenges..

Ummmmmm, that may be a challenge. Justbob is the man with the answers.

For now this the one I want to use.

I also have to check for the position of the shitfter, next week i will take a look at a TR6060 to take some measurement.

In a perfect world will be one that direct fit, but I know this is a dream. Once i have made my choice on a particular model i begin the work, so any advice (clutch, pedal, etc..) is welcome.

Thanks
