I saved a 3.08 R&P from someone's past project, plus a pair of 700R4s. Glad to find that the TPS cable was still attached when I moved it recently. These seem like an ideal combination for splitting mild performance and drive ability. The wagon has 3.73s and a 200-4R, a better, but harder combination to pull together.

Yeah the turbo 700 will be the ideal setup, will be a future upgrade for sure. Not to worried right now she wont see a lot of open road use but she will in the future, pretty hard to get a lot of this stuff here but you can get rebuildable turbo 700's from time to time. They use them with the holden v8's, i've got one going into a Holden wagon here sometime soon....
