It sounds like a great idea to me. It should be a good combo. I hope that you and your Grandson have fun!

It appear that this car uses the 4T60-e o.d. trans. It has a lower first than the older T-125 3 speed. There is a 3.90 something final drive out there, whereas you can only make a 3.73 for a 125.
You don't need the o.d. of course. I'd think about retro fitting a T 125 , seeing those cars came with them earlier.
Otherwise , the supercharged Bonneville guys can help you with shift programming.
If you study the solenoid wiring, you'll see that the shifts could be controlled with a bank of toggle switches.

If you're going to do a semi-serious race only deal, I'd be glad to help you. It ought to run .5-6 under anyway.
I don't believe it'll run under as a street car.

Mark, yes it will only be a race car. I'm just getting as much info at this time. I know you had a monster of a fwd you just sold. It's got to be low budget, I'll pm you my phone number and you can give me a call when you can. thank you
