The turbo 350 is one of the best swaps that can be done to a car like what you have that either came with an auto trans or if you have decided to run one IMHO. The swap gets a big drivability improvement with very few hassles. Was the car orignally a Poweglide? I take it that you have the stock 3.08 ratio rear axle? If so are you considering the ratio? Because the center section comes out easy, you could have another set of gears made up and swap back and forth as desired. With a small increase in tire height the 3.08 would work well for just crusing. What year is the engine? Anything done to it like cam ect? I wonder if the Gonkulator could tell us the dragstrip difference with the trans swap alone? Jay 6155
