Just curious, how bad did the 1st to second gear jump hurt him at the strip? I think first is 3.07 and second is 1.67? I know the 440 would have tons of torque but that's a big jump.
Sorry, I don't have that info, although I'll shoot him a message and see if he gets back to me. First is 3.09, 2nd is 1.67
I went back and checked a few of his old threads at another forum, I was mistaken about it being an E-body, apparently it was a Duster. It's an E-body forum so that's what threw me. I know that it was a 440 making about 500 ft/lbs of torque, and that it was running drag slicks at the track. According to him, and this is a quote
I raced my Duster for 8 seasons with an 833OD behind a built 440 , it pulled the front wheels off the line & did 60` in 1.48 , never hurt the tranny
