I would like to see what that engine combo would do in a small lightweight mustang. Cool

The low end torque would be quite a challenge at the track.
With a C6, just leave it in gear and let it shift by itself.
Heck you could run fairly high rear gears, run respectable ET's and still be able to cruise. cheers

that would make a good mud bog engine in a lower running class

I agree. I wonder how that would work in my '67 with a C6 and a 2.75:1 rear. 160 mph @ 5500 rpm. Shocked

I would get arrested on the highway.. Embarassed

That kind of torque will pull a trailer inside-out. Great build!!

I'm going to move this to the Proven engine build section.

I got looking for it the other day and couldn't find it because it was in the engine tech.

Lem Evans · Lem Evans on March 10th 2010, 5:55 pm

It is engine tech....but it'd be good in 'proven' also.

res0rli9 · res0rli9 on March 25th 2010, 11:32 pm

Lem.. any updates on this build, is it in the truck and running and if so hows it doing, and what kind of gas mileage???

As soon as the headers get worked out we'll get the engine into the truck.
