Cool project! Love the license plate! I'd go with the 3G. Even just a stone stock 3G would put you so far ahead of the original 360....

Will be curious to know how you like it. I'm planning on installing a TKX in my 69. A friend installed one in his 69 Mach One, and loves it.

Has to beat the last m/t car I had (a miserable pile of a 2012 Chevy Cruze) by a mile. LOL, That is what I drive daily. Definitely NOT a performance car, but it was cheap, gets good mileage, easy to get parts to fix it, easy to work on etc. I refuse to have an expensive daily driver, when I drive 90 miles to work round trip.

[/quote] Mine was a 2012 Eco model. Bought it when I was driving 17-18,000 miles/year covering events for BangShift. When it worked, it was great...nimble, kind of sporty, great fuel economy, and didn't look like I had completely given up on life. But the repairs...it had a new transaxle put in as soon as I bought it, then the 1.4 ate it's PCV valve, so I did a CruzeKits fix on it and replaced the valve cover, then learned that the hydraulic throwout bearing failed which nuked the clutch. And a clutch job on a Cruze is a bigger PITA than sitting on a cactus. Everything but the engine comes out of the front of the car. Sold the car for a minor loss and wound up with a Chevy Volt instead for the eco-trip vehicle in the fleet. [/rant]
