Re: 5 or 6 speed Transmission for 67 Camaro
Richmond 5 speed is not OD in 5th, but the standard first gear is something like 3:28, so you can swap a 3:08 ring and pinion in and still have a lower overall ratio in first gear. In fact, something in the neighborhood of a 2:75 gear would make it comparable in first to your current set up. Less than two grand for a brand new unit. Another couple hundred for the final drive gears.
If you want over drive, the Richmond 6 speed is .76 in 6th. Same standard 3:28 first gear. About a grand more than the 5 speed.
Just a thought.
