I have a ST10 455 combo in my 71. It sure is fun. The torque from that 455 running through a 4 speed is something that can not be re-created anywhere else. But It does have its downsides. Traffic is a killer. I live in a small town, so its not really a huge deal, but it still sucks. Plus people ride up your ass at a redlight, so dont let your car roll back when you take off.
Im 21 and my knee is always killing me when I drive it. I do have a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, so it is stiffer then stock.
Im taking it out and going with a TH350. Its for the best, and since Im going with a Turbo LS1 in the near future, it'll work out great.
Now... If I was buying a 5.0, it would be a stick. Hydro clutchs are nice and easy on your leg.
