I have a 68 Charger and it has been a 4 speed car it's entire life. I am considering a 727 but the only musclecars I have owned have been 4 speeds and I am not sure what I am looking for. The car will be a 470" and will be mainly driven on the street with a couple trips to the track each year. The car is also mini tubbed, 12 point caged, and will have a Dana 60 and drag radial tires.

Question is: Should I go for a 727 with a shift kit or a full manual valve body? What are the pro's and cons to each? I really have no need for a transbrake if that makes any difference. I am trying to learn so please treat me like a beginner because in this aspect of the hobby I am.

Thanks for any advice.
