Rich Bryant - '65 Nova SS
Just wanted to send a quick note and say thank you!
I purchased a TKO 600 Kit from you and installed it in my 65 Chevy Nova SS
I got the Kit with the offset Shifter I put the Hurst Shifter lever and the 4speed knob on it and with the 4speed console you can not tell it is has a 5 speed in it. People ask all the time is it a 4speed and I just smile and say No it a 5 speed and I got it from Keisler Engineering!!!!
Boy what a difference it made in the way the car Drives and Shifts, I have a 410 Gear in the rear and it dropped the RPM down to 2100 At 70 MPH from 3300 before at only 55 to 60 mph.
I would say the hardest part of putting it in was dialing in the bell housing.
Thank you for a Great Product!!!!!
