Gearvendor Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was wondering if anyone could recommend, or comment on using a gearvendor type trany. My 72 LWB has the engine(402 BB) out for a complete rebuild, and the trany(400r3) is headed off for either a rebuild or to be replaced with something with an overdrive.

I know they can be a little pricey, but my concern is a transmition guy I was refered to says he's got two 55 gallon drums filled with them, and wouldn't recommend them. I want to get as much input as possible before I proceed. They definitely look like they'd save money on gas, and not rob much low end power.

All oppinions welcome, Thanks.
