well originally the car was set up basically for the drag strip. but i used it on the street a lot.
spinning a bearing in my 360 was a blessing in disguise.
right now i have a box stock 74 360 in my car. stock converter and a 2.94 gear. oh man i love the car more now then ever before. i'm running RMS front and rear suspension and man the car is a dream to drive. love getting up on the highway and being to cruise at 75 mph and not have th emotor screaming. i would love to stick some kind of OD in it and maybe go 3.55 gear or so to make it a real good all around car.
i still have my 408 rotating assembly laying around and when its time to build that its gonna be a pure street motor. hopefully a TQ motor that has power from idle to maybe 6000 rpm. had too many cars in the past that were geared too much towards the drag strip. its just no fun taking those tyles of cars on a long ride on the highway.

You forgot "Garage Floor Cover" as an option.
I meant to go Strip/Street, but it breaks so often GFC is what I ended up with.

Ooops, made a boo boo.
My summer daily driver is the Magnum, 400 4bbl. 727 3.55's and near 27 inchs of tire diameter. It still revs a little high, but not to bad. Too bad the motor is a dogged 78 emmisions engine. The big whoppin as delivered 190 HP de-smogged monster. LOL
that's me, no tow, I'll drive. That'll be the (73) 4spd 4.10 360 Cuda

I went strip/street But I would call it Pro Street, as that is what it will be.

another one in the catagory who voted before reading. mine would be classified as Strip/street, no overdrive, and would get trailered to the track. but fun to play with locally on the street.
I built mine just for the strip although there are plenty of street cars which are built very similar.
512 lowdeck Indymaxx block, Stealth Heads, Roller Cam, CRT 727, 4500 stall, Strange S60 rear, 10.5x28.5 slicks, Cal Trac bars and springs.

Hairy for the street, as in.. I can turn the key and it fires right up and will idle on it's own cold no choke, but watch out with the pedal or you'll be sideways and kill yourself.
Street/strip...I can fire it up and drive it every day, and I race it on the weekends at Friday night KOS drags.
Stock stroke 340, runs on 93 octane, 3.91 gears with 28" tall tires, and an efficient PTC 3,500 converter that acts like a stock converter until I stomp on it. 3,500 pounds, all metal body, full interior with car seat in the back. Idles at 190 degrees in Detroit road construction traffic. Runs high 12's on the motor.

Mine has the look of 100% street but the engine of a strip car.
Now I'm going the other way…. Huge de-tune. I want to be able to reliably drive across country.
