136.5k and spin it to 7k. i think the shift lite goes turns on more than my head lights (lil race car). As soon as i am done building a 355 for this car i am going to swap the same t56 and shortblock into a third gen and drive it for a long time.

Holy ****! I have 40k on my rebuild and 110k on the body. I don't think I'll make it that far, by then I'll be either yanking it for a LS2 or something.
