Not intending to hijack your thread here. However, I feel compelled to compliment that gorgeous set of pipes. Man, that's one good lookimg set of headers! I'd hate to see how you route the steering shaft through/around them though.

Steve:
The 289 engine and their smaller (331) derivatives are real happy with a 4 speed. With a fair amount of carburetion and cam timing they rev freely, you'll find the 5th gear (T5OD) useful only on highway trips, otherwise you'll be constantly rowing the shifter like a boat. 3000+ RPM at road speed is no sweat for these short stroke little guys, piston speed is much lower than some of the big inch strokers. Don't try to make it something it isn't.
