1966 Nova 5 Speed Conversion


Yes, more 5 speed conversions at Gearhead Garage! We can't get enough of Keisler Engineering Tremec 5 Speeds and we still hold the #1 Installer Top Spot in the USA!! Anyways, enough tooting our horn--

Out latest project is stuffing a 5 speed into a super clean '66 Chevy II SS. Already a 4 speed car, this Nova proved to be considerably more work than converting from an automatic to stick. But no worries, Mert Perkins, one of our many talented techs, has likely tackled more of these mods than anyone. After extensive floor modification, this cherry Nova still looks unmolested, now boasting a TKO 600 5 Speed, exiting smack dab out the center of the factory console.

Additional upgrades include: new custom carpets, custom rear package tray and other interior upgrades. And as always, we did a number of other mechanical repairs so this Chevy II is ready to hit the road!

For unbeatable pricing on these Tremec 5 Speeds, check out our products page and call us today!

Gearhead Garage is Keisler Tremec #1 Installer In USA!!


Yes, you read that correctly!! Gearhead Garage continues to be the top installer of these cutting edge 5 speed transmissions. We are 5 speed conversion experts and would be happy to talk with you about any project you're considering a Tremec for...

For those serious about performance and incredibly solid design, here is more on those transmissions and the company that makes them, Keisler Engineering:

1967-1969 Camaro/Firebird 5-Speed PerfectFit™ Kit-TKO-600(.64)

A truly complete conversion combining the Keisler PerfectFitTM transmission with all of the correct matched parts that have been carefully selected and tested by Keisler for guaranteed quality and performance.

Drivetrain component selection and installation instruction and support is critical to get the job done right. Rest assured, buying from Keisler - the leader in manual transmission systems - is the first step in the best driving improvement you will make to your Camaro or Firebird.

1. TRANSMISSION - NEW TREMEC TKO-600 (600 HP/600 FT-LB), customized by Keisler to perfectly fit your 1967 - 1969 Camaro or Firebird. A number of custom features are included (with no hidden charges) that you won't find anywhere else, including:

Shifter location custom designed for your 1967-1969 Camaro or Firebird.
NO CUTTING - unlike other transmission offerings on the market, Keisler's PerfectFitTM fits your car with no modifications whatsoever - PERIOD!
Custom short-throw internal shifter mechanism designed to provide better-than-stock shifting.
Muncie / Borg-Warner GM bolt pattern and input shaft configuration for direct bolt-in installation.
Gear Ratios: 2.87 1st, 1.89 2nd, 1.28 3rd, 1.00 4th, .64 5th; 2.56 reverse.
