Jim- I’m a few days behind the curve, but I’d suggest going with a 4 speed. I think you’ll likely regret it later if you don’t.
I also agree with Carl that a wide ratio will probably work best, especially with a high rearend ratio. I’ve run anywhere from 2.73s to 4.56s with my M21 close ratio and anything above a 3.55 made it feel like I was slipping the clutch for half a block to get moving.

When I got my '69 it had a 307 and a 3 spd on the floor. It seemed pretty quick but bogged down when shifting to second until the RPMs came up. Which would be the better combo for the 402 BB?? It certainly shouldn't bog down going into second. I just want something I have to shift and can listen to while doing it. I don't know if it would make a difference of 3 shifts or 4, as long as they are on the floor. Thanks for any input. Jim -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
