I need a tremec

My 305 and five speed need to go. I am about to order a 350, and I need a transmission with the ***** to back it up. From what I've read Tremecs are good. Does anyone know of a good place to order one from. The only place I've found so far is Next Generation and they seem to have a 10-15% mark up on everything. What are everyone elses experiences with the tremec 5 speed.

I know someone who has a brand new, installed but never run Tremec TKO.Here's his add from another site and forum:

All new and never used. Had to abandon because of incompatibility with exhaust.

- Tremec TKO 5-speed with F-Body adapter plate (520 ft-lb continuous use)
- Lakewood scattershield with block protector
- 10.4 inch F-body Centerforce dual friction clutch with 26 count input sline (matches TKO)
- Hays SFI approved billet steel flywheel
- Pro 5.0 billet steel adjustable shifter for F-Body console

All for $3000.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think his flywheel is for an externally balanced engine but everything else will work. Catch me on AIM and I'll get the two of you together if your interested.

Thanks for the help everyone. After knocking Next Gen, I am going to order from them. Everything there is 10% off right now, plus an additional 10% off if you order online by the end of the year. That drops the cost down to about $1380.

Are you talking TKO or T-56 since both are produced by Tremec. I've got a TKO and it's awesome.
