Over Drive Versus 700R
(Preview)
Right now I have 3.55 to 1 gears in the rear end and I'm thinking of adding a Gear Vendors overdrive or swaping the TH400 out for a 700R. If I went with the overdrive I'm also thinking of changing the rear end to 4.11. What do you guys think? Has anyone here done either?

4 Bolt Main 327 Blocks

There is another thread about 327's that has slightly derailed so rather than take it further off course, I'll post separately. The discussion came up that there has been rumours for years (I first heard them in the 70's when I was a teenager) that GM made some 4 bolt main 327's. The Massey Ferguson comb...
