1965 Plymouth Barracuda Help Needed

I have a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda that I have recently restored. I put a 408 stroker in it with a 727 transmission and a 373 positive rear end. I'm looking to either change my transmission or add a gear vendor to obtain overdrive. Which would be the best option - a 4 speed automatic transmission or a gear vendor? If recommending an automatic transmission which one would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I would agree with Bob - the Hono drive unit has been reintroduced and will withstand 1000 hp and 1000 lbs of torq - - the jeggs and tci tranys are just out of my price range - just my thoughts - Jaxx

Gear vendors overdrive !! The 727/ 518 overdrive is much bulkier in the midsection and would require major mods to the cross member and trans tunnel
