Re: 71 Ol' Blue

Thanks Guys for the warm welcome and input.

Va72c10, I will look into the ECE drop. This is one item on my wish list. Do you have a recommendation on the rim size and offset for this drop that will tuck in the wheel well nicely?

So far on the motor is the Edelbrock performer RPM cam and intake, with a 670cfm street avenger, ceramic summit headers, with 2.02 DH heads. Of course the rotating assembly is all forged steel crank, rods and TRW flat top pistons.

Now, I am running the 3peed stock tranny for now with the 3.73 rear-end. I know the 3speed is not going to be in there long, but I don't want to convert to an auto. This is going to be a weekend cruiser and I like driving the standard for added enjoyment. The question is what would be a good standard upgrade to the 3speed? The engine guy said the 327 should be around 340 to 350 hp. So, I will need a tranny that would hold up to my lead foot.
