They could bump the compression up and make it an E85 motor. With LS style BBC heads, they'll probably try to sell it for 35k.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Since it's a drag motor it is begging for a Powerglide. 3,200hp Viper running a 2-speed Powerglide: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/69748/Screenshot_20211020-161714_png-2137311.JPG There's also some 3,000+hp Vipers running PPG sequential trannies but at events like the Texas Mile there's a fair chance they end up with a box of neutrals.

Since it's a drag motor it is begging for a Powerglide. 3,200hp Viper running a 2-speed Powerglide: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/69748/Screenshot_20211020-161714_png-2137311.JPG There's also some 3,000+hp Vipers running PPG sequential trannies but at events like the Texas Mile there's a fair chance they end up with a box of neutrals. I'd guess that Powerglide need to be specialy built for that kind of power.  As a kid I had a '68 Firebird with a 350 that I installed a Tri-Power on. Powerglide tranny. 2.73 rear end. Couldn't smoke a tire but hit 145+ easily. My dumb self buried the pedal one night with it in Lo. At about 75 MPH it shifted itself into Drive, broke the tires loose and sent me into a ditch. The pole I side swiped was the death certificate for my poor car. The motor ended up in some guy's Studebaker pick up build. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You hit redline between stop lights do you? You must drive in Mexico. Some of us just dont care. My 66 is running long tubes, xpipe, and 3 inch black widow mufflers. When it uncorks everyone in the world will hear it doing 5500-6500 rpm. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What would be a period correct chassis for that? The first thing that comes to mind is a 50s shoebox or truck build, but I don’t know… A 1970, 1/2-ton 4x4 short bed pickup. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Check inbox. I know what 400ish in 2800 pounds sounds like... Atleast until my cam pin sheered and now have to rebuild the engine. I’m happy with 700 in 3600lbs. |
