Hey, Lee. All you have to do is give Marvin a call. He'll whip out his cutting torch and have you ready to go in no time flat. I agree with the previous posters that the AOD tranny is the way to go. You built your car as a cruiser, not a dragster so you probably want around 2400 RPM at 70 mph. The AOD will keep the noise level manageable as well as provide a smooth responsive ride. You may have to have a new tranny cross member fabricated and a new drive shaft made up. That C-6 seemed awfully long sitting under your car.
I run a 3.50 rear gear with a toploader and turn 2850 RPM at 70. My winter project is to swap out the carrier for a 3.00/1 carrier that should provide 70 mph at 2450 RPM.
