Transmission

I opted to deviate from the numbers matching portion here in favor of drivability and fun. Replacing the original Powerglide is a performance built 700R4. The PG has nothing wrong with it except, well...its a Powerglide. This is definitely an area where new cars are better. The 700R4 is from Bow Tie Overdrives. With 3.55 rear gears, the 700R4 extra low 1st gear is equivalent to Turbo350 with 4.31 gears, but 4th gear is like having 2.49s in the rear. Its the best of both worlds. The Powerglide was cleaned, new seals, and will be stored.
