352, headers,dual 2.5 inch exhaust,pertronix,650 double pumper holly,and 4:10 limited slip gears thru a c-6 trans.seems a bit high strung at 75 mph or so.Haven't checked it on the tach yet.

Joe, Them 4:10 gears are hard on the ol FE. That thing outta leap off the line, and get 9 mpgs.
I have my tach red line set at 4000 rpms. I did have it a touch past that wednesday when I ran my ol boy up to 90 in second. My 3.00 rears help make that happen.
2050 at 55 mph.

Took it for ride today.Bout 3 grand at highway speed.Speedo is a bit off but I/m guessin 65 or so.She really does jump off of the line and gets 6 gallons to the mile or so it seems.Mostly use it to go to the dump and grocery runs on the weekend.
