Manual valve body W/O engine braking?

My avatar has a Griner RMVB and I drive it some on the street. It has low band apply. It is simple and intuitive to drive. And as stated above, the engine will not stall at a stop if you forget to downshift. It's in a CRT 727 and is just a joy to slam through the gears. While I love rowing a manual, to me, the feeling of a power-on upshift with a hard-hitting auto is also fantastic! Going down the track and smacking the shifter at WOT for the next gear instantaneuosly..ahhh...what a hoot!!

I don't think you'd be disappointed.
