Chevy tranny questions

[David88vert]

I just took the original PowerGlide out of my 64 Impala and replaced it with a built Turbo 350. The PowerGlide had just started slipping, and since the car will never be fast, I wanted the extra gear to conserve a little fuel. Several people have told me to build the tranny and sell it to make alittle money back on my swap. Since I have a really good tranny guy that wil build it for me pretty cheap, what is the most common setup people look for in a PowerGlide? What should I ask him to build? Any specific hp amount or features that I should ask for?

Also, I have a "lockup" Turbo 350 that I could have him build. It this a desirable tranny, or should I just chunk it?

You'll most likely have more money in the trans than you'll be able to sell it for when its done. I would save yourself some trouble, and just sell it as a core.
