I have a stock powerglide from a 63 impala it needs rebuilt never done one before so I need some advice and help.
First everyone tells me to put in a aftermarket th350 conversion shaft but how do you know witch one to get? Iam looking at this one but I dont know if I have 1.82 or 1.76 gears. here is a link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230302119154
also one guys says a stock overhaul kit will be fine another says I should get all kinds of hop up parts? here is the kit Iam looking at:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=390001619032
ok lastly I have an old trans tech powerglide shift kit should I install it or should I just do the stock overhaul? I have a 2800-3200 B&M converter for a th350 I could use if I change input shafts correct? this is going in my 2500# tube chassis vega with the 327 sbc and 5:43 gears I will be taking it to the track a few times each year. and I will be driving it to car shows and such on a regular basis. so please help here guys I got one guy saying with thi light a car and just a 327 the thing should be fine stock rebuilt and another telling me I got to stick at least $500 into it. HELP
thank you in advance.
