If you were Tracking a 65/66 Mustang with a 347 450HP V8 and had the Top Loader 4 Speed, would you change the Trans out?  if which of these 3 would you choose:  Tremec TKO 500 5 Spd, Tremec TKO 600 5 Spd, T-56 Magnum 6 Spd or a T-5 5 Spd?  If none of these what would you go with?

A group of four of us open tracked a 65 coupe with a 347 small block with about 425 HP. We had a close ratio top-loader and used a 3.70 traction lock. All four of us were happy with the performance and never really thought about swapping out transmissions. Driver ability ranged from aggressive to technical to spirited.
