I would put the 3.23 in. i can do 150 on the power tour. passed a lot of brand Xs. I can do 13.97 in the 1/4. still get 18-20 mpg if i could stay out of those big qjet back brls. i used a later 904 with the low 1st gear. yes lock up t/c.
made my own mounts out of stock truck units and used the hp 340 ex manifolds. great street/cruze car.

Pretty car, beautiful!  I ended up modifying my own mounts, some guy selling them on Ebay had a drawing on his auction. 
I agree on the 3:23 in my case, since I am so upside down already on the deal. The spitfire headers worked out great.

Yes it wasn't hard to make the mounts. i used the stock steel brackets that came with the motor (it came out of a van) cut the amount shown out and redrilled. then used the stock 15.00 truck/van motor mounts. they are already interlocked. so no need for extra bars and chains. worked out great and cheap.
i love to use stock stuff.

Agreed, that is some of the most fun for me, when it works out. The brain trust on this board has shure been helpful on my last two projects.
