Also there's the idea of getting a transmission out of a mid-90s 2 wheel drive Dakota.. aka an over Drive transmission...
This would theoretically allow you to run a 3: 55 or even more aggressive gear and still have your overdrive for the freeway...

My mistake. If would love to stroke my 360. But, I’m not risking my chassis for a lot of power. I’m not sure if A body chassis are similiar to B’s. But, with B’s they have questionable areas of the chassis and body’s subject to a lot of torque. Unless these areas are addressed or in extremely good condition. Mine are very good. But, not good enough to risk.
Another huge factor is my car is a rare convertible. Convertibles are subject to body stress or cracking near the lower corners of the rear window running along the trunk and rear quarter panel. Because they weren’t designed with stress relief like hard tops. Your A body car has body stress reliefs if it’s a hard top. It’s a quarter inch slit running from the lower corner rear windshield to the trunk. Chrysler didn’t design convertibles this way. A flawed design.
I’m not in favor of changing tranny models from a different era due to cross member fabrication and floor gutting. It’s a pretty rare car.
