Where can I Buy a TREMEC TR 3550 / TKO Manual transmission?

This Tremec TR 3550 five-speed overdrive manual transmission was developed using state-of-the-art technology and is ideal for specialty sports cars equipped with high torque engines. Basically it replaces the Muncie “M” series 4 speed transmissions of the ’60s and 70s, which includes a Borg Warner T-10. Which is a clone of the “M” series Chevy Muncie transmissions. Obviously it has more than 4 forward speeds to meet the new demands of modern cars.
