When I built my 57 Plymouth, I used an 833 Overdrive 4 speed and rebuilt the stock Inland shifter, used a stock clutch and a 57 Plymouth pedal assembly (additionally I also left it a manual steering/manual (disc) brake car. When I finally got it together and could drive it my first impression was it drove just like the new base Road Runners we sold at the Chrysler Dealership I was working at back in 68-69........I LOVED (and still do) driving it.

That being said my daily driver for several years up to that time had been my 351W, 4 speed overdrive 77 Mustang II. A lot tighter steering, the short throw sifter and light clutch it was a fun car, but an apples and oranges comparison.

Some may remember my thread where I un-built the mustang for the wife to drive.......traded out the Edelbrock heads for stock smoggers, changed over the 4 speed to a C4 and replaced the Posi rear for a 2.79 open. Basically I turned it back into the the Mustang II that everybody justifiably makes fun of. I am keeping my man card however as I only drive the boring POS from the driveway to the shop about once every 6 months to change oil (and I usually check the street to make sure nobody sees me).
