Have you ever noticed me not being able to keep up with the rest of you with my 289 and toploader...????
The toploader is butter ... B-U-T-T-E-R. Easily the nicest manual transmission I've ever rowed through the gears (and I'm a die-hard Muncie guy)
5th gear is for weenies.
However, I do agree that the 3.73 rear end in that SPF is WAY too short (especially with pizza slicer tires) - 3.27's (or even 3.08's) would have been IDEAL with the 4-speed for that car.
