Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

Ken, I often think of a manual trans. It is not on the plans short term but is always something I consider.

One consideration with the truck classes, a converter equipped trans runs at lighter weight. In the case of the "B" class Super 10, it is allowed 155 pounds weight reduction with auto trans.

The initial build up and testing will be a Powerglide with 1.98 low and 5.88 rear gear. The 327 in super stock trim will shift at about 8500 so it will be a fun ride.
