I don't get you; you constantly rag on me for long posts, and the one time I am blunt and to the point, it's too short for you? If OP needs clarification, he'll ask. He doesn't need you comin' out swinging.

What's cheaper a complete 340 top end and stinking 340 cam?.......or a TC and gears?
What's more effective off the line? A complete 340 topend and stinking 340 cam?........or a TC and gears.
Com'on, this is a no-brainer decision. After that 78 pig 318 tanks with all that baggage you wanna bolt on, he's still gonna , at the very least, very least, need a higher stall TC..... and I know it want's gears. It's a heavy tank, with barely enough compression to start; it doesn't need power at 5000rpm; it needs to get moving off the line.
But go ahead call me names and spend his money........
