Gentlemen,
So I have done a few upgrades to my 67 Coronet 440.
Car was a 318 2bbl,auto,no power options, plain Jane go to church car.
Just got done installing 2.25 dual exhaust, Edelbrock performer rpm air gap intake, Carter AFB 750cfm(Big I know but it was free), MP electronic ignition conversion, Comp 268H,Lifters,Timing set,Springs,Pushrods,etc
Couple of things jump out to me after install.
1.) The drum brakes are scary! I see disc brakes in my future.
2.) The car needs gears gears which brings me to my question anyone here run 3.91 gears on a weekend toy does your car rev itself apart?
I run 4.10 rear gears on my DD but a have a 6 speed double overdrive transmission kind of worried about steep gears on a 3 speed auto.
Any thoughts, opinions, rants and raves? Thank you in advance for any and all information.
