That is the question.
Hi guys. Just dropped in.
I have a 1948 Chev Aerosedan Im bring back from the dead.
Right now it has the stock 3 speed and closed rearend. Pushing it along is a sweet 62 235.
I need to get it up to freeway speeds. Im 50 miles from anywhere. So I have to drive a long ways just to go to car events.
I almost bought a 72 Pontiac Ventura II as a doner. The 250 was in fair condition, and it was backed by a slush bucket two speed automatic and
what ever rearend they put in those. I could also use the fornt clip.
My question is. Im not a fan of the 2 speed auto, I dont this this current setup would give me any more top end speed, than what I have not.
The ideal thing I need is a GM 3 speed/OD that I could mate to the 235, then use the 72 rearend and front clip, but trying to find one of those is near impossible without spending big dough.
I can get this 72 Pontiac for $200.
Will that 2 speed OR a turbo 350 bolt to my 235?
My other option is to sell my 235 and use the newer 250. Which Ill still need to bolt a turbo 350 to.
Need some ideas.
Thanks for your help.
