TKO 3550, 500 AND 600 (STANDARD-LENGTH-
INPUT) NOTES
Note that the transmission mounting boss is metric-threaded
(10 x .1.5) on the inner holes, ½-13 on the outer holes.
Install the spacer between the mount and the mounting
boss. The offset (standard length input shaft) goes toward
the rear.
TKO 3550 with spacer
The 500 and 600 with standard (long) input do not use
the spacer. Instead, shims are used between the mount and
the chassis. Some of the GM-style mounts may require
some trimming on the passenger’s side back edge to clear
the X member. short-input tKO – mount modifications and
installation
Elongate the holes as shown above. The mount is installed
onto the transmission with washers as shown below. Note
that the hole elongation is toward the front.
BELL-HOUSING
Many blow-shield type bell-housings have a large bottom
flange that will extend below the chassis. Trim the engine
plate as shown and use it as a template to trim the bell-
housing flange. This dimension applies to all engines,
although the trimming operation may not be necessary for
some.
b\belltrim
For other engines , trim the bell-housings similarly, using
the distance from the centerline of the crankshaft to the
bottom edge of the flange.
