question ?
I have aa simular situation about running my car. I built a 565 for my 2800 lb backhalfed ladder bar car wHich had 406 that I ran for 4 years. I ran the car 3 times with this new motor and decide to sell my car to find a tube chassis car, I did. I don't know exactly what the car weighed with big motor but to guess Iwould say about 3000 lbs, 456 gear powerglide 1.76 planetary. This set up I left about 5 thousand rpm and the car went left I go out of it and back it and the car went 8.99 @144 went thru trap at 7400.
Now my question is the new car weighs 2400 lbs with a steel headed sbc what will the car weight with a aluminum headed bbc and the same set up, exept for the chassis and 4 link setup, if the car goes straight does this sound right, will it work?
