If you want, I live in hampton and am in the middle of my swap if you want to come by and take a look at everything. I am waiting on a driveshaft to be made, but I can show you everything you need to get it done.

The reason you will hear the t-350 and 400 are more suited to street cars is because of the ratios. With a glide you may want a 3.70-4.10 rear gear to optimize the combo with the 1.76 or 1.80 1st gear. With a 3 speed you have a lower 1st gear which allows you to run a more street friendly 3.23-3.50 gear without the car being a slug to the 60'.
To run a 3.40-3.50 rear gear with a glide you need hp to make it 60'
