Hi Guy....You may want to sign up on the Team Nova site:
www.novas.net They may be able to answer your tech questions involving the conversion.....In my opinion, a fully prepped glide would be ideal for the strip but not the street!.....I believe a good set up for the street for an excellent launch would be a built TH350, 3500 stall converter and a 12 bolt posi with no more than 4.10 gears!.....Or you could go with a muncie 4-speed with a heavy duty clutch assembly and a Hurst shifter!
