Stocker engine Input please

Old rule was "PG Only", now you can run a 3-speed auto in lieu of 2-speed auto. They seem to go quite a bit faster with this change...

I have yet to switch to the three speed in my 283 SS nova, just how much faster are they?? I may have to after Als hits on my combo with more to come I am sure. So the question is is it worth the money to make the switch?? Thanks Tom

The 396/350 for 68 carries only 15 more HP than the 396/325, and gets 0.060" and 0.080" more cam lift. You could run the 396 and pick the HP rating by just changing cams. And you get to run a 3 speed automatic with the 396 engines.

The 327/275 and the 350/295 look to be decent, if you have to run an automatic, and it has to be a PowerGlide, I'd think the stroke of the 350 would help the PowerGlide at least enough to make the 15HP difference up.

You need a Mopar.

Keep in mind the 396/375 & 396/325 will get more hp between now and the start of next season.
