for now I am just gona keep rockin the slanty for a while...v8 swap is lookin more and more like a lot of cash in a hurry... Im thinking run the 3 on tree till dead then go for it all with 360 to 4 on floor to bigger rear end..will have to do breaks and shocks in front end too...
The 4 speed conversion isn't much easier but it's a nice strong transmission. If you plan on keeping the column shift, like you originally stated, a 4 speed would be a real interesting project! Modify an old Mercedes column maybe?
