Not to compete with Joe or anything (!), but if I stick the auto
trans in my Hornet project car I won't need the T150 with electric
overdrive.  This OD should be fine behind a V8. Nice match for the
high ratio axle probably in the SC. Ask me in a week!

(I've got a '70 TSM, I'll email you what it sez the 70 SC/360
3-speed manual ought to be if it says so directly.)
