And a heavy car. Probably felt like you were starting in second!
350/302?
I had the 350 and also the 302 later.
The 2.20 M21 trans and 3:23 gears combination with a high output Pontiac engine in a first gen will be a fun test. I'll be happy to post the results just as soon as I get the car done and the salt leaves the county. Probably both happening around the same time.
