So I'm currently working on my first build and I have an engine to put in the car but i am not familiar with transmissions and not sure what i should put behind it. I want to put a manual but its not mandatory as the car did not originally have one. I just looking for something that will not break and can be easily rebuilt to perform better. planning to put it in my 71 scamp with a 5.7 hemi, planning on going for a street/strip kinda thing but also want to be able to cruise decent. Looking for any and all suggestions, tips, knowledge.
