Bruce, I'd opt for a new 3.08 gear behind your 455. I have a new 3.08 gear (Yukon) & Eaton posi unit in the 12-bolt (McKinnon out of a '70 GP) in my '70 Lemans with a 461 with an M-20 4-speed trans. It pulls away easy from a stop in 1st gear and runs at 2650 rpm at 70 mph. With your TH400 automatic, it's a great gear for a 455 with abundance of torque to easily overcome that gear. My brother has a '71 455HO GTO with the factory 3.07 12-bolt that easily runs low 13's and can cruise nicely on the highway.

Dennis

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
