If you do intend to drive it on the street at all, the C4 would be a better
alternative. The powerglide's gear ratios and two speeds usually require a very
loose converter to get the car off the line. Loose converters and two speed
transmissions do not lend themselves to easy street driving.
Considering this with the extra cost of the Ford-GM adapters and the costs
involved with a racing Glide, a C4 with mild components, I believe, would be a
better alternative.
Good luck!
