A lot of us have been through the meat grinder on this one.I rebuilt a top loader used with Hurst comp plus shifter,it was a great setup.The problem was turnpike driving,and running the 460 hard.Solution! was a Tremec TKO and a 3:73 rear gear,making 1st gear an absolute spine crusher,5th gear overdrive made turnpike driving a pleasure.Not that I use the turnpike much,now I don't dread having to jump on it once in a while.
