Hi Folks-
Well, my new car isn't here yet, but I'm already thinking of mods! It's a 70 Malibu with a 427/TH400/12 bolt with 3.73 combo. I am planning on cruising the car down to the beach, which is about 2 hours away, which is making me consider an OD tranny. I do believe I got a little bit spoiled by my Grand Nationals and their driveability! What trans would be the best choice for this application? 4L60E? 4L80E? Vendors? Thanks!

The only problem with you switching to an overdrive would be durability loss. The th400 is much stronger than any stock 200 700 or 4l60. I would personally go with gear vendors if it is in your price range. And if you had to get an overdrive a 4l80 would be the better of the 4 overdrive trannies.
