1968 Galaxie tranny

I need recommendations on a tranny setup for my '68 Galaxie 2dr fastback. I will be running a '69 460 with about 425HP and 550 lbs of torque. The car will be mainly used on the street with an occasional run to the strip.

The car came factory with a standard tranny and has all the linkage. What 3 or 4 speed could I run? Should I go with an automatic?

I like the idea of grabbing gears with a stick but I think an auto might hookup better.

Any thoughts?

go with the top loader 4-speed,large input shaft.1 3/8 inch. porgies in nj. should be able to help you out.

I don't know whether or not David Kee still supports this forum, but I know he did at one time. I've done business with him and know him to be an honest businessman.....
