I'll have to agree with Slam33 here, Auto tranny for a street truck is the way to go, no missed shifts, and a built 700R4 is the tranny of choice for a everyday driver. Good slap shifter and your set.

72futuresweet2wd yes AWD has, and is being done with a 67
Short stepside right as we speak. I don't want to give it away cause it's not my place.


70 Jimmy your right you don't see to many AWDs in NHRA pros, but look at the street legal classes, with street tires, and they rule the class. Awd is where it's at for a street legal anything, with street legal tires, it a shear matter of tire contact patch, and weight transfer, 4 tires pulling you forward instead of 2, simple concept. So yes stop light to stop light AWD is where it's at know doubt. If you've ever seen a modified Syclone leave a Viper (not stock)look silly at a stop light like I have then you'd be a believer too. Or ever seen the 0-60 times of the Summit Quadra duece at 3.2 seconds. The proof is in the pudding. Awd is the future of street weapons you can bet on that.
