I like turbo 350 transmissions, simple and affordable. Add a trans cooler, a deep pan and filter extension.
Thanks - I've been reading about the L79 and the L46 cams. I like the 350 as it is lighter than a 400 and take less power to run (and I already have it)... And with 307 rear end, I don't need an OD to go 170 MPH...
