I had an 80 301 t/a with a turbo 350 tranny and my friend had an 80 with a 301 and a 200 metric. we would race all the time and i would win everytime . I think the metric has a 2.74 1st gear which should have helped but who knows. So many variants involved. But i would pull away while still in 1st gear.
Problem is all the seals are 40+ years old and rotten. Usually starts slipping soon after changing or flushing the fluid. TH200 is an easy rebuild though.
@@woecp the TH200 is an easy rebuild. Reverse usually goes because of the valve body warping slightly. The TransGo shift kit comes with a fix for that.
