69 Camaro new build

[Bucket list racer]

Looking at building a 350/255. Would like to know what stall and gears?

Run the 2.75 gear metric trans with 5.13 rear gears, 9x30 92.5 rollout tires are what I think most if not all 250/280 '69's are running. I hope this helps.

You should post this, plus any photos in the classracer builds section so we can follow along on your project. Theres a lot of good overall information in there if you haven't checked it out already. I'd give ATI a call concerning your converter,, they'll get you very close to where you want to be right out of the box. Good luck with your Camaro.

Good advice from Danny. PTC would also be a good choice. You need good info on your car before ordering the converter such as HP, gear ratio's, shifting RPM, etc. so that they can build you the right one for your combo. If you purchase a converter too early you will probably need to have it rebuilt when you get sorted out.

Good idea. However I already have TCI TH350. Any ideas on how to make it work or should I be thinking about scrapping it and go another direction?

Bucky, (that's your name, right?)
I'd say the best T350 , all aluminum, rollerized, low gear set, all the tricks,...would be about equal to a budget built T 200, so you can take it from there..

Don't think so. I should know

And then.....

The Metric 200 generally cost less than a TH350 if the 350 is anywhere near built right. It sounds like James has experience. I don't. I've always run the Metric. If you want to run reasonably fast, you need to plan on changing to a Metric.
