Just rebuilt a 426-S for my '64 Sport Fury. Stockish with factory exhaust and manifolds, '68 magnum cam, CH4B, Holley 3310, 9.25:1 compression (properly cc'd and calculated) using 1975 -975 heads, Chrysler electronic ignition, 36° total ~ 14° at idle. 235/60-16 tires, 727 with stock 11-3/4" converter, 3.23 sure grip
Runs nicely. Pulls well. Floor it from a dead stop and there's no bog but also no tire spin. Memories get foggy but I remember having a '67 charger about 30 years ago with a dead stock 440 magnum and simply stomping it from a dead stop would easily light up the tires. Granted those were narrower but not greatly. Does this sound right? No tach at the moment so I can't check the stall speed of the converter yet, should be ~1850 rpm. Wondering if I have something a little wrong or have my memory a little wrong. Add some brake and it'll smoke 'em but that's not what I'm asking.
Thanks for any help.
