It comes with the all synchro 3-speed manual, or a C-4.

Dunno if it has the 9" or an 8" rear; probably the latter.

Dunno about that 1-bbl carb, though.

Might be difficult to find, but should be an easy (and cheap) build.
Back in the mid to late 70's someone ran a 68 galaxie ragtop with the 240. I think at the time it ran x/sa(not sure). I think it was very competitve if my memory serves me correctly.
In 77 I put a 240 in my 67 custom 500 2dr post, 5.14 gear, A1 converter, Clifford research hedders, Lunati cam, etc. I was never really able to get a handle on it though and I spent a bunch of money.
I do think the potential is there, but not cheap.
