Yesterday Mark (manchestershark) and I spent about an hour or two on the phone talking about the overdrive transmission options. I could only speak from my personal experience with my 72 on how they act. He is considering going with a 700 trans and 3:08 gear ratio. I had no luck using the 3:08 gears in mine as the lugging was to severe and I ended up going with 4:11 gears. Mark found in his NCRS information that a few years of vettes (early 80's) used the 2:70 rears with overdrive trans.
So now Mark and I have a few questions about your setups:
1. What ratio's are you using with your overdrive transmissions either the 700 or the 200r4.
2. Are you having any lugging issues.
3. Have you gone to a lockup switch to control your lockup speed.
4. What stall convertor are you using
5. What TV system did you use
Was the cost of your conversion worth the money you spent to do the swap.
Looking forward to seeing the answers to these questions as well as any additional comments or information you want to add to this.
Thanks
Rodney
