Ok!!! So here is the million dollar question!!!! If you had to do it all over again would you convert to a flat-6 or a V-8? What is easier to convert? Seems like the V-8 maybe a little cheaper. However it seems like you have to cut your firewall out… is that also true? (Please note I am no wheres close to it yet but I need a plan!)
What Trans is the best to go with? I was think of a 73-76 side shift 901 with a billet heavy duty intermediate plate from a 70-72? (this would be built as street car… NO-auto cross….) |

a 901 will handle power depending on how it is applied. if you have a habit of dropping the clutch with the engine reved up in order to beat that 'vette or ricer next to you, it won't be long before you leave a nice pile of parts behind you....
doing what you're talking about (TORQUE!) is gonna take a serious tranny and axles. go for it, but leave the 901 at home. |
