To my knowledge any TKX or Tremec will require the entire tunnel section in 61 to 64 Chevys from the firewall to the 5 speed shifter location be raised at least 2 inches to clear the TKX or Tremec transmission. I have checked this for the last 5 years and I have seen no change.
That is why I have a Richmond 5 speed in my 62s (both 409 cars I use a 3:08 posi and end up with 2800 RPM at 65 mph first gear is 3.28) I have zero factory tunnel modifications. and the factory 61-63 4 speed tunnel cover can be used so the a shifter boot on the floor fits correctly.
Tremecs fit very close to the X frame and the parking brake linkage.
My Richmond 5 speeds use the factory frame mounts (I had a curved rear mount made for my Richmonds -actually I have had 3 of them made)
Perhaps the TKX may not have the issues I note but check it first...
The TKX site does not list 61-64 Chevys and does not have a rear transmission mount they sell (same as the Tremec for 61-64 ).
I just purchased a 5 speed overdrive Richmond for my 62's for $2600 with $250 of new parts
The Richmond 5 speeds and 6 speeds are 21.57 inches overall length
Muncies 4 speeds and BW 4speeds are 21.5 inches overall length
Tremecs are 24.07 inches overall length
TKX 5 speeds are 23 & 3/4 inches overall length (So a TKX 5 speed transmission is 2 & 1/4 inches longer than Muncies and Richmonds....)
Richmond, Tremecs and TKX I think use a Turbo 400 driveshaft yoke
Muncie and BW 4 speeds rear factory mount using the factory crossmember= 14.25 inches
Richmond 5 speed and 6 speed rear mount = 16.5 inches or 18.0 inches ( I have the 16. 5 mount on my 62's)
Tremec TKO rear mount -22.1 inches ( 4 inches further back than any Richmond 5 speed or 6 speed......)
TKX 5 speed -trying to find this
Shifter location is another item to check to clear a bench seat in 61-64 Chevys along with the height of the shifter above the floor
or match a SS factory 4 speed shift plate like the ones in my 2-62 SS 409 cars both with Richmond 5 speeds
I have a chart that I need to update for the TKX compared to the transmissions I listed Above and the factory mounts and X frame
