I've read about chevy folks stuffing these cars with big blocks. 454's 5- freaking- 02's. Tire broiling 383's.
12 bolt rear ends. 40 spline real deal stuff.
I know about the body flex issues. I'm never gonna treat this car rough. It'll just look like she can tear ass. But she won't be slow!
Definitely lower rear end gears. I still want some gas mileage. 3.73 is as low as I am going. That's enough for this tiny car. It's already a skate board with a 280(?) HP Chevy v8 strapped to it. Half the car is plastic. What's these cars weigh? Like 3400lbs for the rag top?. It's too easy to get more power to weight.
The tranny I install, will be hard core. I gotta read up on the 4l60e. How do they stall the converter? Im assuming it's a electronic variable pitch? Ford would be.
I want it to chirp the tires. Firm hard shifts, all the way to third. Idk if overdrive counts. Trans go??? Best kit for these trannys??? Rebuild kits, master. Which brand?
Ill do the math on the stall speed.
