Default 4 OR 5 speed

Well, as my 69 chevelle gets closer to completion, I am more and more set on retiring it from the odd 1/4 mile duty. That said, it is time to put it back to manual from the TH400 combo I threw in a few years back.

That said, what are your thoughts on going back to a Muncie 4 speed (either rebuild original core or the beefed up Autogear unit with Iron midplate and stronger gearset) OR a Tremec TKO 5 speed (requires floor surgery)?

Now, the car has 4.10 gears but will prob. swap back to 3.55s (with 550 ft lbs @3500 itll still be a handfull!).

Muncie: Is the M22 noise a pain? With 3.55s I think I could live with highway cruising

Tremec: Would the floor surgery really be worth having the overdrive?

What are your thoughts?
