Here's my take on this. my 46 Ford came with a turbo 350. It worked just great, was very streetable and trouble free. It really took all of the work out of the shifting deal and was a pleasure to drive and really never needed any work. A good street transmission.

But with that said something was missing. I didn't have a 5 speed but I did have a couple of BW 4 speeds and I'm old school anyway. The conversion was not fun, the biggest head ache was getting the automatic out of that Fat Fendered Fords X frame. The clutch linkage took some doing and it cost an arm and a leg. I even bought a 2 post lift becuase I got real tired of laying on that cold concrete.

Finally got it done and went for the first test ride. WOW it was just the ticket and made all of the difference in the world. I don't believe you will ever be sorry for making this change. Maybe these guys are right--- Real Hot Rods do have three pedals.
