Budget 360 build

If you want an overdrive auto, you have the a518 or the a500. Think of the 518 as an overdrive 727 and the 500 a 904. There are inexpensive ways to make them work. But the trans tunnel will require mods. If you want a manual, I look for a late model a body "4 speed", which has an underdriven 4th gear.
Thanks, I have a rebuilt 904, but I'm looking a for manual tranny
