Here's my daily driver ( 70 miles ) and our weekend set up. 250/sm465/3:08 and its obviously a DOG on the hills. If you were stuck on keeping the 250 ( not breaking in and listning to the other V8 guys) what trans, rr gears would, or are you running. I have a 700r4 set up ready and was thinking 3:73 or 3:90 as it is a daily highway cruiser. I am not opposed to a gearvendors unit or a 5sp. Just thought the A/T would be nice to shift once before the 20 stop lights and 35 miles of highway to work before the cofee kicked in smile

Welcome Newfisher, love your Burb! You might like the pics of the burb on my Photobucket "sub album" or page. It was at a show, but don't have any info on it.
