Here is something you might want to try! A friend of mine a few years ago that bought my 1st dragster,less center section & most other parts(I put them on my new dragster and give him a great deal).Had a turbo 350 built trans & converter out of his door car(chevy)he used both of them behind his BBC and only used 1st & 2nd gear with a 3.55 rear gear ratio with was = to running a glide with either a 4.56 or 4.10 rear gear I can't remember which.And it worked great,at least its something you might want to look into.Do your math to pick the right rear gear ratio and if nothing else you can find out if a Glide will help your car or not.

PS Try it you might like it!
