Hey Ron, I know you run a C4 & the late C4 was available with a lockup converter. Going to an O/D trans then to the o/d spur gears in the QC that's spinning a 3.something set of gears is going to suck up hp you can't afford to lose in the flattie!

. . . but won't Ron's proposed 5-speed manual have its 5th "gear" in straight lock-up?

Yeah we talked on the phone after I posted that, his 5th is 1 to 1 not an O/D.
