i once had an aluminum-case Powerglide behind a full-out 348 v-thing in a '37 Chevrolet pickup, and i reckon the 'glide is strong enough to take just about any abuse a 350 can produce. i don't like automatics of any kind, and i should rather have had a stiff clutch and a close-ratio four-speed, but that 348 convinced me that what i really wanted for that pickup was a GMC.
That was 34 years ago. The pickup is long gone, i'm sorry to say, but i'm glad to say that i have the GMC in front of a Saginaw four-speed with overdrive, and i wouldn't trade that combination for a whole warehouse full of v-things. If you've seen one, you've seen them all; if you've heard one, you've heard them all; if you've driven one, you've driven them all. (Driving with an automatic is not driving, but merely steering.)Every inline is unique, and the people who make them run well are creative and ingenious, because they have to be, and therefore they are much more interesting. i learn from them.
God's Peace to you.
