Next Wednesday it is scheduled for testing and evaluation at Chrysler Proving Grounds.  I'll get to learn the numbers associated with it and will pass them along. He said it was unlikely the Generation 7 Corvette will have a mid engine and wanted to do a "what if" article.

I'm pretty sure the Crown mainshaft uses the stock Corvair gears, you can find the ratios for all the variations of boxes I've been able to find here:

Also, you had posted about shifters.  I don't have any specific V-8 shifter info, but you might find something helpful on this page:
