Hey guys any suggestions on clutch pressure plates, I'm leaning towards Hayes 11" but I'm open to suggestions. Also it looks like I may have to cut a hole in my floor for the shifter, whats the best way to line this up correctly? Any help is greatly appreciated

William, thanks for the reply. In your opinion what 1st gear ratio would be best? 2.52 or Lower? I really don't drive the car on the highways and would like the torque off the line. Your thoughts?

Hi, I'm new to the forum and need some advice. I have a 69 LM1 Camaro with 350 - turbo 350 auto trans that I would like to swap for a 4speed, Console car horseshoe shifter. The question is which 4 speed?  I have contacted a few people in the industry some suggest the M20 wide ratio other suggest the M22 Close ratio. I have considered the tremec tko500 for the overdrive, but would like to keep the somewhat of the originality of the muncie trans.
I will be swapping the 350 engine 255hp for a 383 stroker with 525hp. also have 3.73 gears in the 12bolt.
Would I need to change the drive shaft and trans cross member with this trans swap?
Any help would be appreciated....
