I know it's a pretty large amount of work in an A-body.

Even though the Gearvendors is only a .78 overdrive I think it would be good enough for me and an easier install. And I like how it will handle full power for an occasional highway brawl.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I have 3.73's with a CRT 727 and I'm turning around 3000 RPM's at 55-60. I know GV is only .78 vs. .69 but if I can keep it around 24-2500 at 70mph I'm good.


I'm a fan of the 518. I have one behind a 512 stroker mated with an Ultra Bell. Between the bell, converter and transmission I've got about $1800 into it. OD shifts are controlled with a pressure switch and a vacuum switch. If you've already got a trans built by CRT though I'd be inclined to go with the GV too.
