Let's talk Transmissions

[PCW]

Working with Peter to finalize my build cost and I have most of my build nailed down. Still deciding on the engine builder, but the car will be a FIA 289 with either a 331 or 363 ci with an 8 stack carb weber set up, targeting approx. 425-450 HP. The biggest question I still have is what trans to use.

I have had a lot of appreciated advice from the Facebook Group regarding engines and weber carbs vs weber EFI and decided to go with the carbs. Troy stated use the TKO600 w/the .82 final drive. But I keep finding threads about the Toploader (TL) and the Richmond Super Street 5 Speed (RSS), I see positive comments for all three.

So my plan at this point is to use on the street, but, I want to future proof the car as I feel I'm going to want to track it sometimes. I adding the ERA rear end, BIG brakes and the discussions with the engine builders have been a balance between a street/track motor. With all that said, what are your thoughts about transmissions? Pros vs Cons, likes and dislike etc..

Thanks Craig
