MORE HEAT from MY 72/455

72GOTTA · 03-30-2008, 01:43 AM

my issue is this, i found 455 egine and tranny from a69 tornado.had it rebuilt, and then sat on for some time (5/y).

i'v got some work done as of late but the get up is't there for my thirst. i'm lookin for some get with limited funds, where shoud i start eletic fan,torque converter,distributor,headers? I'M not lookin to burn the blocc at every turn just when i need too, u no what i mean.

I'v added eldelbrock carb,manifold and manaflow exhaust. any suggestiones is appreciated.

What is the gearing?
Is this still in a Toronado?
A 3.42/3.55 gear will make you smile every minute you drive it.

nope, i pulled it from a 69 toronado into my 72 cutlass supreme.
i don't know the gear ratio,how can i get info on that or what can i do with 3.42/3.55 gear and how can address it?
if i recall rite it seem that it wanted get up every time it change gear but the tranny acted like it was slipping so i was ask too change the vaccum modulator, can that effect pick up?
