Paulie, You'd be VERY happy with a Turbo-200-4R, or T-700-R4 in your car. It'll require some shift cable fabrication, trans mount modification and a drivshaft re-do, but the results will be phenominal. I believe Patrick's and Langdon's Stovebolt Engine Company has the adapters required. I haven't personally done this conversion, but a friend put a T-200-4R behind a '67 250 Chevy engine, in a pickup, with great results. The difference in acceleration and lowered RPM at highway speeds made it well worth while. His fuel mileage made a big improvement... like from about 15 to around 19 mpg, on the highway. His total cost was less than $550, including buying the T-200-4R from a low mileage wrecked Monte Carlo, and re-doing the driveshaft. The biggest problem he had was to get the TV cable operating correctly, so the shift points were correct. If your engine is the original 235, you'll have to have the proper adapter, but after that, you'll be happy with the set-up!


Lord, let me live long enough to do all the projects I have planned!
