Why Carb and non OD a Gen 3?

I cruise my car around town, drive it in parades, and drive it to car shows within a two hour drive of where I live. Any further, I'll trailer it and I have no intentions of doing the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour. Why would I want to go to all the trouble and expense of fitting some kind of OD trans in my Cuda when it already had a 727 in it?

As for carb over F.I., when I did my swap back in 2008 there wasn't much available other than modifying the factory stuff (expensive) and upgrading the fuel system to support the F.I. (more expense). I already had carbs, which I have a lot of experience tuning, and the Mopar Performance 4 bbl intake was WAY cheaper than F.I.

I was a cop with kids on a limited budget when I did my swap, I didn't have the cubic dollars that people doing this swap nowadays seem to have! I also wanted a hemi in my car and again, I couldn't afford a 426 Hemi.

I have no regrets about the way I did my swap and have enjoyed the heck out of driving my car for the last 15 years! I definitely haven't missed having F.I. or OD!
