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).

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.
