Best Tranny for a short block 327..

Xrossed · 05-10-2006, 08:49 AM

sometime in teh near future I intend to swap out the 304 and toss in a 327 Chevy Short block in the Jeep after its been rebuilt.

I'm wondering what the best transmission for this engine is .......
and I probably want to stay away from automatics ... or do I?

I want to keep an eye out for potential prospects / deals that may come around in the mean time.

What ya goin' do with it? Street? Mud? Rock? Trails?

And why a 327 short block?

327 and 350 (more plentiful) are teh same outward sized engines.

More Cubes more power.

c'mon keep it jeep. Buy a 360!

If you go with a 350 then I would probably go with a th350 if you want an auto or you could go with a th400.

If you want a manual go for a nv4500 for the deep first gear.

There are a bunch of shops that will make you an adapter plate if the bolt holes don't line up.
