what 3 speed

Rod, I assume you mean a manual trans? If so get a Jerico and never look back, you will not be sorry. If you meant a auto 3speed you can't run that in stock in this combo, powerglide only. Hope this helps some.

I don't think you'll find a "production" 3 speed that could even be "updated/upgraded" to live. I agree with Robert, go Jerico, and never look back.

I'm not sure if it's legal, but GM used a Ford heavy duty top loader 3sp in 1966 & 1967 in the Olds 442's and Pontiac GTO's, I was working @ Hurst Performance Research at the time and we maid the shifters for them.

If I remember right, GM used a one-off bell housing on those cars and the tranny was clocked for some reason, maybe for clearance with the floor pan?
