Hello all, wrapping up this slow build. 1972 Nova 383 stroker with cam and AFR 195 heads. 3.73 gears and 28 inch tires. Not my daily driver, but I want to be able to drive it daily if I feel like it. Bracket racing for fun on the weekend about once a month. Street tires with a set of DR’s for the weekend.
having the transmission built. My plan was always to go with a TCI reverse manual with engine braking in every gear. I already have the Hurst Pro-Matic 2 shifter.
My worry is the full line pressure. Would that be an issue in the long run? Should run a manual/auto with a B and M shift improver instead?
The reason I want the MV is because I don’t like the delay when I shift in the auto. I want it to happen instantly and hard. I don’t like the shift points anyway.
Lastly, I like the simplicity of not having to deal with the throttle cable or vacuum tube.
Any tips or ideas from anyone of you
more experienced folks?
