I have an early 80's 350 SBC, in the process of a rebuild, and I dont know what transmission would be best for it. Id like a 5 speed that has planty of "get up and go" but can still cruise 75 mph on the highway while not over-spinning the RPM's.

First I guess you should know the 350 will be a steet/mild strip pumper, for now, and will most likely be part of a '54' pickup but I have other plans in mind too if that falls through.

Also are there any cross brand tansmissions that will bolt up easily enough without much or any "modifications"?

Thanks
