I won't correct you on the math, but will add my opinion that the cost of a GV will never recoup itself.I'd look into adding a Gearvendors to a th400. 8 gears with 7 you can tow with including an od for increased mpg.
Not to mention, the worst part about old 3 speed auto transmissions (and others) is the high first gear, which a GV doesn't help with.
And the practicality of manual sifting and manually splitting the GV to split ratios every time you accelerate from a stop would be somewhere between frustrating and insanity.
And the GV won't do anything for maintaining highway speeds, practically, as it won't pull in OD with anything even close to stock power and a 6klb + trailer on the back.
Also, one can to ALOT to an old 2wd Chebby to make it tow much better (talking power to the wheels) with the $ just a GV costs.
