With an M-20 trans the 3.73's would not be bad off the line, but with M-22 or 21, agree would be a sluggish combo. </div></div>

I agree... my 68Z has 3.73's and with the M21 it's not the ideal combination off the line. However, after refreshing the original engine I installed a nasty SBC from American Speed and a Tremec TKO. Problem solved.

The 302/M21 are safe and sound in my garage.... &amp; I drive the hell out of the car now without worrying about the original drive train.
