Door Slammer plans
Sup guys I've been milling over a combo that in my head will be awesome so give me some input on what you think. The car is a 79 impala stripped to a race weight of about 3400 lbs. On my dyno simulator I've got a 383 stroker with pontiac motorsport heads that makes about 600 horspower and about 620 ft-lbs of torque. I plan on using a th400 with the stock rearend but in seriously upgraded form, or should I just use a 9" ford? I understand its stronger but I also understand that they loose up to 12% power due to mechanical ineffiency. I've read that a 7.5 if built right can withstand about 700 ponies has anyone done this? anyway if I can get this thing to hook does anyone have a guess as to what it will run through the lights? The gear ratio will prolly be a 3.73 but with this much torque maybe a 3.55? Just need some constructive critizism thanks in advance fellas.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
