If your going BB, go with a 700r4 trans. You'll have to put a little money in it if you like gettin on it every now and again. I had one in my 67 Chevelle that I drove like I stole it every time. Car ran 11:30's in the quarter (300+ passes) and had about 5000 street miles on it before it started slipping 2nd to 3rd. I didn't even have alto clutches just raybestos. It did have a Sonnex servo. An OD trans is the way to go with any combo for mileage and drivability.
