Welcome Gord, Glad you made it. Guys this is one of my best friends of all time. Go easy on him.
Thanks for that John. It truly is a blessing to have such great friends.

The motor is a small block Chevy and yes its got a realy BIG cam. It sounds nasty but not all that much bite.
Ok now I am realy baffled. I yanked the tranny and verified we have a Wide Ratio with the 2.54 first gear. You would think that would be plenty...

I am out this year. Bonneville is only 6 weeks away and dads car is not going to finish itself.
I vote for the banger. If you decide to go the 2.3 route give me a shout. My back burner project is a track T on 32 rails with turbo and...
