360 vs 383

I had a '68 Fury III Police Package (build sheet verified). It came with factory disc brakes, dual exhaust, 383 commando, and dual mirrors. 727 of course. In low mileage-stock form it ran lower 15's with even the factory carburetor still on it. About 4400 lbs at the start line (no spare or jack, me in it). I thought that was respectful considering where the car dated and era.

We added 3.55's, a weiand intake and 750 holley and dropped down to 14.7's. About a half second drop. Not at all fast, but when all considered, respectful.
Brought old memories for me there. I had a '67 that 383 commando w/2bbl. I ran 14.90s with it but it had nature's weight reduction also. The car originally was a Minnesota car. Open the trunk lid and see both back tires,lol
