I would go with #9
reason - you will not have more fun on the street then having a stick. and 351 HCI turbo should be puting out some damn good numbers, so look into a built version of the tko trans.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

if you want fun all way down low and free way as a daily driver. gonna haveta have a couple extra gears, and i only see one over drive on your list that aint a stick.power glide is really race only.the other 3 speed trans are just a step below the power glide but still dont quite offer the full package of everday driving fun on free way and fun from stop light to stop light . prob a built aod unless you want a stick.

If this is gonna be a DD then put a manual in it. T56 would be the first choice followed by a TKO.
