My car started as a 2V 289 that had sat for about 12 years. Besides replacing all the basics, I put in the Edelbrock performance package (cam, intake and carb).
The car ran great, but only really took off at 50+ MPH. It was a dog out of the hole. The new gears really, and I mean really, changed that.
I seriously was concidering the 3:50s, but I'm glad I went with the 3:25s. At 70 MPH, the RPMs are up quite a bit.
The next project is headers and maybe doing something with the heads. Anyone have any suggestions on headers? I'm thinking of the tri-Ys.
