Working on getting there.
Chasing a few little leaks, but have oil, will travel.
Was getting 14mpg highway with an Edelbrock 800, haven't calculated so not sure with my Proform 750, but it feels like less.
28" Cooper Cobra tires and 3.23 gears, so 75mph is about 3100rpm.
Best run so far is 12.66 @ 102mph, but still tuning and learning, has run 107mph

Converter right now is a Turbo Action 'Tight 10'.
I think (but could be wrong) that I can make the soft hit of the 3.23's work for me in the traction department.
Tire height might play into it.

Head gaskets- i was thinking of Mr Gasket 1121's with a litlle milled off the heads.
Just spitballling right now, but I think it would be fun, and maybe satisfying to work around the gear ratio.
I could probably throw 3.91's or 4.10's in and get 11's quicker, but the whole premise is this is a STREET car, not a drag car!
Kinda why I posted this thread. I wanted to see where the compomise lands between E.T.'s and practicality in other people's views, and what they planned , or how they actually got there.
