Transmission suggestions please.
Hello all, 1st post. I just picked up a 1970 Ford F250 2wd crew cab and am pulling the stock motor and NP435 tranny out next week. I am dropping in a 327, +.040, that I am finishing up currently. I need tranny suggestions. This will be my daily driver, not lifted, not used for towing or any heavy hauling. I want good acceleration and no granny gear. Basically I don't want a truck tranny. This NP435 in it currently has a first gear something like 6.85:1. I have a Dodge cummins pick for all my heavy work. Any suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks,

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
