Hey John, I have decided that Keith Craft will build my engine. I'm using the genesis block 427-482 with dual carb setup. What is your take on clutch type, tranny, rear end. After several conversations with Mike Stenhouse, editor of Superformance owners magazine, "The Second Strike", I am leaning toward the TKOII with 327 gear in the rear end or possibly the 308. He felt that this gives a low enough first gear to eliminate high revs to get moving, and the correct 5th gear so that shifting from 4th to 5th doesn't feel like going into some huge overdrive. Tell me about the tranny you are going with. I understand that TKOII is heavier duty than the 3550. Also , if this engine is as awesome as it sounds, the drive train will have to take the horsepower. Your ideas are appreciated.
