Hi! It's a (mostly) stock inline 6. I'm building it myself w/ a kit from B&M. I don't expect that my engine will produce dangerous amounts of power - I'm doing this swap to get away from 15 mpg. :-) It's my daily driver, not a race car by any means. From talking to local trans shops, opinions seem to vary widely. Some say they're rubbish all the time, some say post-86 are better, some say any year makes for a good foundation. Mine's out of a 90 Caprice with a 5 liter, for what it's worth. For 'real' power, regardless of your definition of that, everyone here recommends a 700-R4. I'm not making 'real' power, and I'm not very keen on hacking up my floorpan to make a 700-R4 fit, so this was my only option for an OD trans.
