Re: turbo 350 to 235 six
One line of thought is that the 350 takes more power to operate than say an aluminum powerglide.
Thing is that you look around and GM put some pretty small engines in front of a Turbo 350 in the 70's . As far as top speed you can run a 3.0 gear and buzz down the highway at a good clip with one if you want to. It might not pull stumps out of the ground or win stoplight drag races or pull a trailer very well but we all have different ideas of what we want as far as performance goes.
Big rub with a 235 and turbo 350 or aluminum glide is that you have nearly 400 bucks tied up in the adapter before you get to the trans.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
