Car looked good and sounded good on the way home.
What gears and transmission?
…When I lived with Toby the terrible… She used to encourage me to buy shit… So what did I end up with when we split up…quite a few carsI remember when I had to ask permission to buy shit.
… and 650 vinyl albums from the 60s and 70s…

It can be done in a garage, everything can be done in a garage. Ask me how I know.
You can do it yourself, the only thing you will have to have done that you can't do is shorten the driveshaft, everything else just follow the really well written (no really) instructions.
There is but you have to finesse the trans tunnel with a hammer to make it fit. I do know a built 727 is really strong and a gear vendor is near bullet proof, I don't know how strong the 80's A500 42h and a A518 46re can be built
Are there no overdrive transmissions available for Dodge muscle cars?

Yes you have to go to Kingman. Since Carquest is gone not sure what happens. He would send it down to them and collect payment so you didn't have to drive up there.
Can’t upload a video directly apparently, but here’s what she sounds like for you guys asking.

To be fair the driver of that 55 was a little over your age bracketDidn’t know that cat in the 55, but I was gonna try and get around him.
cruising rpm is overrated, I have 3.91's in the chevelle, sure, the freeway kind of sucks, figure 4k at 80 kind of thing, 3k at 60. Around town its not big deal with a big converter as well. I would only bother swapping gears if you were planning on driving that car on some long road trip. I agree that about an hour on the freeway is all I ever want to do, and only every few months to the track.So I called gear vendors, and they were a little concerned with how many modifications there are to both the front end (all tubular) and the transmission crossmember (also aftermarket / tubular) and then with how low the car sits. They said it’ll work, obviously, but I’d need to go into project being ready for “significant” floorpan modifications (which I’m not prepared for) if the driveline angles are altered from the factory to begin with.
At this point I’m leaning towards getting a pre-built center section with 3.23’s and keeping the 4.10 one on the shelf for if I ever try to get an ET out of the car.
In that video, that’s going through all 3 gears and you can hear how wrung out she is
Post 172, I don't know how much finessing is required, it even sounds like maybe your trans tunnel may not be factory by how much has been done and a built OD might fit.So I called gear vendors, and they were a little concerned with how many modifications there are to both the front end (all tubular) and the transmission crossmember (also aftermarket / tubular) and then with how low the car sits.

If you use a rubber mallet it most likely won't hurt the finish
So the question is, what's cheaper, the overdrive or an enclosed trailer?80 for this car would be 4100 RPM and I’m just not willing sustain that
I don’t have aspirations of major road trips with it, but I would like to be able to take it to Kingman / Bullhead / Vegas for shows etc.
I’d love to do the Power Tour West with it this year but we will see if work has other ideas.
Oh, and nice parking job...
Gear swap would less hassle..
My camaro is 2.73 with Autogear m22z I love to get on highway and cruise..
can smoke tires easly......not that ive ever done that a bunch of times all over town
