Re: Ever done a T-56 swap onto a Gen I small block?
Manual tranny's use clutches/pressure-plates; auto's use torque convertors.
A 700r4 would be the simplest way to get you that OD gearing (4spd auto).
If you want to swap to a manual just to have a manual trans, a 5spd would be better unless everything else in the drivetrain is set-up to utilize the 6th gear in a T-56. Heads, cam selection, intake, carb, gearing, & tire OD all will have an impact on mpg improvements vs. just swapping the trans (& not taking the other items into consideration).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
