I am going to swap axles first to see if things are better in the RPM dept which they should be. Only I worry about the I-6 having enough power to start off . Trial and error I guess . It sure smokes the tires now when in the gravel.
I guess next option would be a 700R4 transmission . The 700R4 has significantly lower first gear and second is a little lower(than TH350) also which helps the start off launch . But The 700R4 needs a TV cable from the carb I am told.
Transmission kickdown linkage has been a problem and PIA all along with the inline SIX and the one barrel carb.
I have not ever gotten the TH350 Kickdown cable to mount up where it will work. Good thing it is not required like the cable on the 700R4
It guess it is still an option to change to the Holley carb and Clifford or Offenhauser intake for the ability of transmission cable hook up.
One thing at a time is still progress .
