T5 or a C4 auto behind a flato adapter. Stay away from the early Ford trans if your going to make a lot of power and spend a lot of time frying the tires

 

5 speed with adapter.

 

Just my .02 since you asked. Ford T&C top loader four speed with the Jeep T-176 shifter.

 

mmmmm maybe a linco nooo wait im not buillding a dragster

 

T 5 from an S10. You will have a gear for every speed from 5 to 105. You can do it on an 8BA with mostly stock parts and a 200 dollar adaptor.

 

mm that sould be an easy one to fine and know where to get the adapter ..
