How Fast?
How Fast? alright i have an 83 monte carlo ss. we built a 350 that produced 449 hp at the flywheel and 446 lbs of tq. we put it in with a 2 speed powerglide tranny with a 5500 stall (5200 true stall). were running 4.56 gears with slicks. were at about 3700 #s guessing. what kind of 1/4 mile times can i expect.

I don't think I would have put a glide in that car, your not making enough power for that race weight, even with a 5500 stall it maybe kind of a slug off the line.
In any case, we get these posts here alot and alot of members will yell at you about asking "Guess my ET" etc, but I will take a stab and say you will be lucky to turn low-mid 12s with a 449 FHWP 3700# car, I say 12.40s average..I think the glide will hurt your 60' some and reflect on your ET.
