A friend of mine has a '72 GMC Sprint (basically a el camino for those of scratching your heads). He wants to put the 572 GM crate motor in it with a M-22 4-speed. I told him to spend a little more and drop in a Doug-Nash 5 speed, I know it will handle the horsepower, the racing shop is telling him to use an automatic. My thought is that he isn't building this car for racing, the stick shift is alot funner to drive around that an automatic. I grew up with the thought from my dad that ALL automatics are for old people..........keep it old school!!
Any thoughts on this?
