Nice-looking car. What kind of gas mileage improvement did you get with the transmission upgrade? Did you have to modify anything to install it?

Rauchman....Thanks for the reply .. I haven't gathered any data but there is a big difference in gas mileage with the transmission swap going from 3000 plus rpm @ 65 mph vs 1800 rpm @ 70 mph !! And the swap from the 400 hydro-matic to the 2004R was a simple swap with the complete kit coming from Bow tie Overdrives. Great modification with proven results. And easily returned to stock if need be

Page 2 shows all the pieces and the install and small mods to install the 2004R trans

Wow, that's a huge drop in rpm. If you ever decide to calculate your mileage with the new tranny, please post it.

Your car is awesome! I wished we were closer. Which 350 do you have in it, and has it been "tweaked"?
