Go with the TH350, IMHO anyway. You'll be happier with 3 gears instead of 2. I've had both, and like the TH350 much better. Heck, fuel mileage might even improve a bit. The 1st of the PG is long and high. Takes a lot of engine effort to get up to speed. Think of riding your old 10sp bike. Ever start out in 10th gear from a stop? The tall 1st of the PG has a similar effect, not that it tires your engine, just takes more effort to get there (i.e. likely more fuel).
Besides, now you can set aside the PG in case you ever want to put the car back to original....
good luck!

Hi:I seek an opinion on the following subject.
I have a 67 Chevelle that had the original 283 engine with powerglide transmission. I have replaced the 283 engine with a 383 stroker engine. Like it already. The original powerglide transmission is still in the vehicle and works good. I also ran across a
350 Turbo Transmission. It needs a little work.
Question: If I am using the 67 Chevelle as a cruiser (not racing or hotdogging) should I keep the current powerglide in the 67 ? Does a powerglide work better gearing wise on a highway versus a 350 Turbo. I have heard the 350 Turbo will make a big difference on acceleration and performance but what about highway travel ?
Thoughts please.
Thanks,
Ken McDee
