Clint,
I now have an open 10 bolt with 373 gears. I'm
rebuilding a Saginaw 4 speed to put in for now, which has a 3.11 first gear. I
would like to replace both before summer so I can drive to Chevellabration or
the Power Tour. My Chevelle budget is almost down to zero right now, so I have
to live with what I have. I would love to put in a 5 or 6 speed tranny and a
better rear end soon.

with my 396??
Looking at those numbers,that engine looks a
little high strung. It should easily spin to 7K rpm.
What kinda gear you running in
back,Larry?

I got:
442hp @ 6000rpm
467fp @ 4250rpm
I hope to get better numbers after it's in the
car and we can work with the carburetor some. The guy running the dyno took
my carb off and put a custom job that was on the shelf on my engine and
picked up 17 more horses without any tweaking (469hp). I just can't
afford custom stuff like that though.
BTW, I forgot to mention I'm running L78 heads.
Although I did get the heads rebuilt, I did not have any porting or
polishing done.
