I have recently purchase my first 69 Camaro. It has a 383 internal balanced w/ a Steve Casner th350 and 12 bolt with 3:31 gears. It also came with a M20 centerforce clutch.

My thoughts are to sell the the th350 and the M20 to offset the price for a t56 kit.

American Powertrain and Keisler seem to be the way to go.. I sent in a quote request on Friday morning but havent received price yet. I see Keisler on ebay for $3799.00 plus $195.00 shipping.

What are your thoughts, Vendors included.:thumbsup:

Hey Cole, I ordered a magnum from American Powertrain a couple of weeks ago. I would not hesitate to go through them, everything was as promised and quicker than quoted :cheers: and good luck.

I got mine from Hurst drivelines -- good service and only got charged when they shipped the transmission as promised.

I haven't, I'm in the early stage of my build.

Hurst Drivelines for mine, heard nothing but good about American too.

The trans is worth every penny IMO. :thumbsup:

Got mine through Hurst Drivelines as well... but have heard great things about American too.

Love the T56... mine replaced a 700R4.

It really depends on a multitude of options. Get an overview on the website then make a phone call and they will get you a formal quote in pdf format.

I will add that the customer support from Hurst DL's has been very good, from sales, tech, and front office.
