Hello, I'm planning on converting to a A500 later this spring and would like some input on what my best course of action would be. Currently I've got a LU 904 (completely stock including converter) behind my mild magnum-headed 360, but with 4.10 gears and 26" tall tires it's not very fun on the highway. I have an all original 73 non-LU 904 that I was going to build with all the good parts but I need another gear and the A500 seems to be the right move.

I've done some research but I'm still not 100% sure on which year, or model, I should source the tranny from. I've read on one site that said all A500's were LU and another said that some years came as a non-LU. I'd prefer a non-LU, and one that activates the OD electronically so I can use the stock OD button on the shifter.

Also, if I can get a non-LU can I use any converter made for a 904?

Any info will be appreciated,
Thanks
