very nice indeed ,i know how it is when you get your mind set on something like my 406 guys kept saying 355 ,with the th400 i hear there is a way to get a 4th gear from them but not many guys to it couse it needs modfiying, i think that it its 3 speed or 4 i kinda wish i had OD sometimes but i am ok with my th350 so far it been great,there is 700r4 too i have thought about replaceing one day to have 4 speeds,most kids want 5 speed manual ,i get that one alot ,i like automatics better with a shift kit its practically the same anyhow
I got your point about the 4 speed. And yes I agree with you that 4 speed is better than 3 speed due to the extra gear. But perhaps we do not have highways, the OD is not needed here any way. So I will go for the TH400.

This picture shows the bushing and the taper. The small diameter will face the outer frame wall and the large diameter will be welded to the inner frame walls. The chamfer is to get clearance of the bolt head.

I would go lightweight. Swap in a fox mustang front subframe and build tubular. Swap a buick 350 in it, mate it to a jerico 4 speed it has the same final drive mate 1:1. And put aluminum heads and intake on the 350! And a lightweight bellhousing.
Cut and trim the firewall a bit, set the motor back a mile. Add fiberglass or carbon fiber hood L88 style, Cut wheel wells mini tub to frame rails cut a square 'C' shape in fenders weld in the gap make super wide 17 or 18" wheels like 18x15's make it stick out in the rear versus the front a little like a gt40 wide body thing the wheels should be as race weight as possible to save weight on huge wheels and tires. Then add tubular X brace on sub connectors and a low floor X brace squared in cab with a cage with x brace in canopy. And X braced foot boxes. Inboard coil overs and huge multi calipers all around. And custom Dual pass radiator x large. Rear wing , front air dam and flat pan the underbelly with transitioners trailing out back. Degree exhaust to v12 tone flowmaster 50's.Then fly.

Hello. From the below 4 Boze Wheels, which wheel shall I go for the camaro? I know it is a personal taste but would like to see other ideas/opinion.
The wheel will be Polished lip with brushed center (or center painted same as the racing stripes)
Thank you all.
