I would price it for $4,500...when they start with the doubting..then tell them ok....since you do not believe me..i will knock off $600 and you can pick it up for $3,900...if it doesn't run what i say it does..i will knock off another $300......you still clear $3600

Read my signature really close.

start going with the flow instead of pulling against ..its a much smoother ride !

I had similar set up in my 73 nova except mine was bored over .060.
305 magnum hydralic cam, 750 double pumper, team g, flat tops.
Ran 7.00's w/ 1.54 short times all day long I knew there was more there but I was short shifting @ 5200 rpm to make the motor last, 3 speed T400, 488 rear cogs, and 9 inch 4500 converter.
Sounds like you have a 2 speed with that much gear.
Whats the ad number? Might be interested.

Hook a brother up... ><Cp

1110068 is the ad #, I may put this thing back in the car and take it to the track, may sell better if people can hear it run and see it run those #'s

What are the rpm's at the finish line? How tall is the tire?
