With 1500 ftlbs, you might think, that a transmission would be almost redundant.
But
In first gear, my 367 has the potential to deliver;
430 x3.09 x3.55=4717ftlbs at say 4800 rpm
in second gear this drops to a max of;
430 x1.92 x3.55=2930, in third
430 x1.40 x3.55=2137,in Third-over (GVod);
430 x1.40 x.78 x 3.55=1667
in Fourth; 430 x1.0 x3.55=1526, still at 4800, so finally your 1500, oh wait, still seeing tail lites.
But on the shifts it's a good thing that the torque drops to about 90%, reducing all these funtastic numbers to about 90%,
To get 1500 off idle, the 367 engine torque needs to be;
1500/ (3.55 x3.09)=just 138ftlbs, which on the graph is where? IDK I can't find it either........ lol.
so I guess by the math, after about 120 mph, your 1500 will best my lazy-azz pos 367.
So I guess your 1500 will still need some kind of torque multiplier below 120 mph, lol.
But then, you might have an even bigger problem with tirespin than I do,lol.
Here is a Hughes engine build similar to mine.
