I have a 3550. Several of my buddies run the tko500 in their chevelles. Granted the 600 has slightly different gear ratios and I have never one myself, I would still recommend any tremec. It shifts wonderfully but makes a good ammount of noise. Beef is noisy though. Tough as nails worth every penny.

how much money do you have to spend on a tranny? a stock t-56 will handle the same torque as a tko, but has better ratios cuz of the 6th gear. check out www.gforcetransmissions.com if you want to send your stock unit in for a rebuild with bullet proof internals. id go with the t-56 tho just to have a 331 with a 6 speed :-)
