Well, let me be the first to say...NICE lookin SWB...welcome to the board from central Ohio.

Myself, I say you gotta make your plans now.
Are you keepin the inline?
is it a weekend toy, or your only vehicle...or somewhere inbetween?
Do you ever go over 55?

IMO, if you were to retain the inline, I would go with a T-5 tranny out of a camaro. They are strong enough to live forever hooked to a stock 250, and you can retain your 3.73 gears so it is somewhat peppy(ish) in town, yet hit overdrive on the freeway, and you'll ba able to cruise all day with out the thoughts of rods exiting through the side of the block.
