[AMC-list] best automatic behind healthy 304?

[das24rules@xxxxxxxxx]

ok, so i got a 304 im am fixing to start going thru, refresh ect. edelbrock
intake/carb, headers, decent cam (not sure what one yet) little head work,
you know, healthy streetable stuff. i want to drop this motor into rosie. (63
american 440H) ya ya ya, i know, gotta do some cutting. i want to be able to
drive it to town when i want. now remember, town is 45 miles away also. but,
i want to have it stout enough to be able to take it to the drag strip to run
also. i have heard that the 727 eats a lot of torque, but the 304 would NEVER
lunch it. so, i guess that would be the 904 and 998? one has a lock up
converter also if i recall correct? are the lockup converters controlable? or
is that all in the trans? im planning to go find an 8.8 rear out of one of
those mountaineers/exploders with disk brakes, lsd. 

the engine i have has flexplate for auto, and the car already has the auto in
it, so i want to just stick with a tf auto i think. i assume they are better
than the bw autos? i am NOT an auto guy, but going to stick with it, just
because both already are set up for them. 

i am HOPEFULLY getting a 401 for little of nothing that i want to put in
casper. leave the 401 just pretty basic and put a decent t-5 behind it, and
be REAL careful. i think they will both be fun...

ya ya ya, no work tomorrow, so i have had a few um, "banquet beers" so they
call them?? so someone just tell me im dumb if i am.
