Tranny poll

What kind of transmission are you running? I notice that there is little mention of the powerglides and that got me wondering.

Both have T-350's. In the future, the step will have a 454/T-400 or 700r4, depends on what route I go.

I have a powerglide in my '66 Chevelle. It will be replaced with a 700r4 this summer though, when the new engine goes in.

I completely rebuilt, installed shift improver kit and painted the TH350 for my truck. We'll see how well she does behind the 383 I'm building.

Both my rigs were factory TH400 trucks, but they both have TH350s now.
The Longhorn may get a 200 4R one day, but not in the near future though.

Definately worth it--pricey at the time but with the diesel it is nice to bring the rpm down when cruising.
