need help choosing transmission
hey guys I’m trying to figure out what transmission I want to run in my 79, right now it is a 250 with a 3 on the tree and 3.08's and it has no power off the line whatsoever, dad had mentioned going to a 4 speed with a lower first gear (not a granny gear more like a car 4 speed), but I cant decide cause I want to be able to keep the cruzing rpms good on the highway. I plan on building a 250 with like 200-225 horsepower I want to try to keep it where I could get decent mileage because when it’s done I might want to go on some cross country trips or something like that.
Here is what has been running through my mind Either a... leave it stock 3 speed in the floor 4 speed with 3.08's 4 speed with 3.42's T-5 with 3.73's But I cant figure out what I’m going to do for now so if yall could give me any input it would be well appreciated, and bring up eny transmission options ive overlooked thanks guys
