This combo uses probably the best automatic transmission ever used in a stocker, take advantage of it.

Put in a decent 904 and B body 8 3/4 (5:13) and you will seldom have a problem.
A good second under combo without anything exotic ( check out Pomona
Qual. sheet).

What about a 3rd or 4th Gen F body with an Iron Duke or a V-6? Would you have the same issues with a stick?

Pretty simple premise we had in the old days. When you could find stuff lying around "cheap". By time you had fixed your car 3-4 times breaking your "cheap" parts. You figure out you'd have been dollars ahead to have bought good parts in the first place.

Most of my old cars may have looked like POS but I tried to get the best parts I could find. My Mustang II will follow the same pattern.

Im looking at building a U/S 302 2V combination but instead of going dime rocket I am going fairly cheap engine along with a very good Strange rear end with Jerico or G-Force Tranny with a Mcleod Soft Loc. It will not be a dime rocket or cheap but instead maybe a 50 cent rocket that will live and I am figuring it should cost around 20 grand or so for the complete build.

I agree with the comments about no matter what HP a Jerico tranny with the right clutch is the only way to go. My experience withy my 68 Impala i ran with BBC (396/325) I had 100 passes on that Jerico and in my buddies SBC 68 Camaro 11.30 car has another 250-300 , tranny still good, never a problem. Also the rear needs not only Spool but Pro-Gears, my only breakage was from using "Street" (cheap) gear set.

I think the Jerico is one of the best aftermarket part made.Just my opinion.

A good trans and clutch, is a wise investment. Used Jerico's and occasionally a G-Force come up for sale and that will get you in the game. A clutch is very versatile from a tuning standpoint. If the clutch is built with low base to begin with, it allows for a wider HP tuning range. A low HP engine will not be happy if the clutch is tugging the engine down too low because of too much base. Keep that in mind when looking at clutches, and a stick car can be very consistent as well.
