Awesome info - thank you both. I didn't think about the first gear starting line ratio. I was hoping to keep it a 3 on the tree for sentimental reasons but maybe that isn't a good decision.
If I was to keep the original transmission what changes are needed to run it with open drive? I guess I don't really know how / what needs to be done to make the tranny accept a driveshaft.
