P/G Trans and Converter suggestion for 283

[Glenn1066]

Wade don't be surprised if you do not get many reply's, most of these guy's once they get their combo sorted out like to keep their set up to themselves. I however seem to always be trying to sort out my combo so here goes. I run a 65 Chevelle 283/220 in SSMA, carb is a 4GC, with the glide and your tires, I run 5.87 gear, 208 first and 7inch 6000+ stall convertor, Frank Lupo can set you up with both for a good price. This combo depending on how much hp you make and the air will be .8 - .95 under. If you want to be fast get a 3 speed (Turbo or Metric) 2.75 low, 7 inch convertor 7000 stall. In both cases you will want a brake, leaving higher, go faster. Of course there are alot more factors to add in, I hope this will start you down the right path, if you find something that is real fast let me know. Good luck call me on my cell if you want to discuss further.

Why would you waste your money on a PG when NHRA gave you such a gift on a metric trans? I hear they are worth about two tenths over the best PG set up.
Better yet put a stick in that 'Vette!

Jeff, The clutch pedal and Z-bar frame mount will be in the car for whenever. I will check out the Metric, thanks Wade
