G'day, lucky I stumbled on this one!! The easiest way to go is the buy a Castlemaine Rodshop g/box crossmember. Out of all the gear I've bought from them over the past 10 years, it is by far their best product in it's design and finish.

Have you a bought a bellhousing yet? There are a couple of options, if you want to avoid modifying your tunnel to fit the tremec, you can purchase a bellhousing that is shorter than a normal tremec bellhousing. It will require the input shaft on the box to be shortened by either castlemain rodshop, or mal wood automotive, not a huge deal.

Then all you have to do is decide on what style set-up you want, I prefer full cable pull type for a better feeling pedal, but other's prefer hydraulic, it really comes down to personal taste on this one.

Either way, it is a great box and worth the extra expense and effort in the long run.

Any other questions concerning what pedal to use or whatever, just ask!

Dave
