after my 331 stroker rebuild, what would be more cost effective route(obviously that would handle the power) .. A new rebuilt AUTO (and which one) or a 5-speed, and Which one? I guess part of the answer depends on labor costs, but maybe someone here can get me started.
Personally, I can't imagine driving around an automatic muscle car. I just like the feeling of bangin' through the gears and chirpin' the tires in 3rd. Now, if all you are after is good track times, then a quick shifting auto would probably be better.
well, anyone who knows rob knows the track isnt a concern. he has his for the same reason i do. to have a fun street car. as far as cost goes, you would be looking at around $2400 or so to drop a tko600 in there with all of the other stuff necessary for the swap minus labor of course. i cant speak for the auto's because i never bothered to price them after the second stock aod-e went south on me.
