I'm curious to know how well one would hold up in an Advance Design pickup, behind a mild 305 V-8. Truck wouldn't be used as a truck very often, and would never haul huge loads. Thanks in "Advance" Wannabe

They have better gear separation than 700R4's, and can be built to take a lot of abuse if you ever decide to put something hot in front of it. Ask a Grand National or turbo T-Type owner/racer. You'll have to get an adapter however, as they are a B.O.P. bolt pattern. I think the overdrive is definately worth it though. Have fun.

They were standard equipment in some mid eighties Caprices with the 305. That's why I was asking-seems like a good way to finish off my drivetrain all in one shot with the same (hopefully cheap) parts car. I'd forgotten about the gear ratios and the usage in GN's, though. Thanks for your input, my fellow Canuck. Wannabe
