Dave1647545494 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 if its a 3 speed car don't run much more than a 3.73 if its going to see street duty I've always been fond of quadrajets if your handy you build four or five of them all jetted different real cheap becuase most people will give them away then take them to the track or the dyno and keep the one that makes the best number you can find 750's and 800's on big block caddy's and old buicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 yeah I have decided to go 3.73 and Rob already has my new 750DP doing a kit in it and painting it. I am sure it will be sweet when it comes back and I will post some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
