thanks for the input guy's. i am putting this motor into a 27 T roadster so it will be light. Also will be doing heads and a 3x2 intake. I too like the idea of shifting but with very little leg room, it may make more sense to go auto. I really need to wait until i get the frame close to being done before I can see how much room I have. If I do keep a stick I will probably go with a T5 just for crusing. The flatty would probably prefer an AOD

Not all the 80's autos had OD some are just c4's (basically). i have one of each in the shop that I could use.
