Ken, are you a member of the Corvette Action Center (
www.corvetteactioncenter.com) ????
I know that there are a couple of guys over there that have done the swap in
C1's, C2's, and C3's. Maybe put up a post over there if you're a member and ask.
Most (if not all) of the things I've read or heard have been positive.
Here's a link to a 71 BB with a Richmond unit in it that you might want to look at.....
http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...have-sell.html
and check out some of the links in that post. I say go for it if it suits your needs and you
have the $$$$ to do it. You can keep the 4 speed in case you want or need to part with "Goldie" (HEAVEN FORBID), or if you decide at some point that you don't like it and
want to go back to the 4 speed. Good luck making the decision..........as always,
it seems like it will be a big one.
And besides......."Goldie" will LOVE it, and will reward you with a longer interval
between repair times (not to mention the decreased $$$$ in gas
)

HIYA to Carrie from Dotty and me.
