4 speed auto with overdrive, not as strong as the turbo 350 though.

Yep with a stock 3:1 first gear which is a lot lower than most other autos which only have a 2.5:1 and the 2 speed powerglides which have a 2:1 first.

Which is why this rig has 3.8:1 transfer and only 4.56: diffs. Overall crawl is about 52:1.

Lots of the new buggies are running the powerglide because the auto is so short which means you can move the engine closer to the centre of the rig. Most of the powerglided rigs run the 5.0:1 atlas.

and that is why it is so hard for Victorians to compete regularly in these events :cry:

Yea - will be for sure. Ive got these couple of 35spline D60 axles to put into something. I was origionally going to put these into a a rig and send it to the states but Ive bought this one now to leave in the US and so the one Im building here will stay here.
