Opinions on full manual valve body

I say do it. Increase the fun factor. I want to add it to my 727 but not sure with a column shifter.

I got it on mine with a column shift, 3rd gear is where 1st gear used to be, its great, screaming in 2nd gear you just shift down till it stops, can pay 100% whats happening on the road.

Its a Cheetah--no low band and no problems in 10 years. Now I never punch it in 1st gear unless the car is pointed straight and its stop or just about stop and I don't slam my right foot down but ease in to the gas.

I found with 3.91 gears you don't need 1st gear unless the car is about stop, going fast around a turn, 2nd gear works great
