If cheaper stuff is the goal why are all the glide lovers want to run a mopar? Buy an 85 camaro, its cheaper than a dart.

I would rather have the TH400 than a glide, its a matter of gear ratio selection.

Also if they need more room for the converter why not just space the trans out a little.

The whole "bragging about gear ratios" thing is the guys that want to brag they have 4.88s in the chevy or 4.10s in a mopar, it just seems to me the chevy guys at the shows think it is a kings crown when they put 4.88 gear in there camaro and mopar guys all like to brag about the 4.10s they have. I don't know why but I hear those comments at every show I go to, "its got 4.88s" with a huge smile on there face
