Ran it for ***** and grins before the new engine, trans, diff and turbo go on.
I called it. 8.5 in the 1/8 mile. Horrible 1.8 60 foot. Thought it would be a little better, but the trans itself (TH375) is already hating life and has metal sparkles in the filter. Unknown mileage trans that was in the truck when it was a SBC.
had fun anyway, but being it’s ported and milled 243s I was thinking it would have been a couple tenths faster lol
