From: Littleton, CO USA
Car: 82 Berlinetta/57 Bel Air
Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E
Axle/Gears: 12B-3.73/9"-3.89
"Upgrade"?

I'd go along with "convertion", but not sure how you'd classify the change from a TH400 to any manual as an "upgrade". Certainly not from a strength (potential, at least) or drivetrain longevity standpoint, anyway.

Now, I like rowing through the gears as much as anyone, but...

I hate only having 3 gears. So maybe not an upgrade but at least a swap. So i am curious what kind i could get that would be very dependable for the amount of power i am going to have.
