Not sure if this should be here in Racing since its a "race" transmission...but found a full manual turbo 350 here in north Texas.

TCI "full manual" turbo350

I ran a full manual 350 for two years with a b&m megashifter and loved it you just have to remember to shift down every time you stop or want to pass. Get a ratchet shifter and just leave it in ratchet mode when driving. Also mine liked more rpms to shift to the next gear like say an auto would shift at say 2200 under normal throttle the manual wanted more like 3000 to make sure line pressure was high enough not to slip the clutches. They can be kinda crazy to drive with a looser convertor.

Its built for the power I need....I'm just looking to have an OD.

If you want OD look at a built 700 or 4l80 with a stand alone computer. Cheack out I think its gear start or bowtie overdrives.
