    My buddy is installing one right now in his 55, he replaced the original 265 3speed. He is installing a 700r behind it. So far so good he is about 70% complete. I will let you know if he finds any issues. I have read good and back things about them so good luck. I do believe he had to purchase a smaller hei ignition than what they sell with the crate engine to clear the fire wall.
