takoarm 10 Report post Posted March 28, 2014 In the early stages of my 69 complete rebuild. Car is getting soda blasted rite now. Trying to narrow down which trans I want for the car. Going to run an automatic on this build. My engine will be a 427w that should tap out around 540hp according to my engine builders previous builds. The standard 3 speed feels very underwhelming given the attention to detail of this build. Was originally going to run a C6 but I would love a 4 speed or if they even make something with overdrive. I'm located in Southern California. Budget is around $2,900.00 for this piece of the build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Welcome Takoarm to the forum. As stated, the AOD is popular, I not know how much HP they can take. Looks like the Cali group is finally making up a good portion here. Were in SoCal are you? Good luck with your build. Make sure to post plenty o' pics.

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 Rancho Cucamongo? I love that shopping center at (I think) the 15 and 210 with Bass Pro Shop, Lucile's and the Remington. Damn, wish I loved closer. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bomccorkle 12 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Mine is being built with all the hipo mods for longevity reasons but my 302 is fairly mild. I have done the monster motor thing and this time around I figured I'd like to drive more than wrench.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
