    Working on Dad/Daughter project. I got her a 1970 2 door project, 302 2v, fiberglass front fenders. What is suggested for automatic tranmission to be streetable and daily driver? Also what length drive shaft would be needed to match up?

    Your ideas and input are welcome.

    The C4 automatic is a good choice. Might wanna go with a shift kit or leave it factory. A factory driveshaft will work fine for a street driven. Good luck on the build.
