I have a 66 Chevy C-10 Pickup. It has a 327 w/ double hump heads. The previous owner has installed a 270~280 cam (not sure of the specs) with headers. It has a 650 Carter AFB carb. It currently has a 2 speed powerglide with a 3:08 rearend setup. The tires are 255R70/15 (29"). I am not happy with the current transmission performance. I was contemplating swapping in a 700R4 transmission because the current powerglide transmission shifts into high gear very quickly and there is very little low end torque. I think that the quick shifting maybe due to vacuum difference caused by the heavier cam shaft. I am a little concerned that the 3.08 rearend may be too tall and counter productive with the 700R4. I know enough to get me into trouble. I was wondering if someone could give me some guidance that has or has seen a similar setup and can attest to the performace. I welcome all recommendations and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
