RE: A833 OD questions

["Earl H. " <earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 4L60E is a great trans. I had that in my 95 Impala SS. Nice low 
first gear and a 1.6 overdrive final. Makes 4:11's the hot ticket for 
in town performance, while giving good free way drivability. I had 
the ECU reprogrammed to where it would almost break your neck 
on full throttle shifts. It took the abuse of near 500HP and a lead 
footed ol man without complaining.

Jeff,

At Carlisle last weekend I spent some time at the Keisler booth looking at
the new OD trans for Mopars.

s

They don't list it for 62-65 Mopars yet, however those kits are complete
including driveshaft. I was REALLY impressed by the product and how
knowledgeable the Keisler staff was. This uses a GM automatic (4L60E I
think) and is supposedly much stronger than the 700r4. Lots of clearance on
the 68-70 B body they had on display. Might be worth a look.

Good Luck,

Rob
