    Too funny. I just came to the decision to move from the factory six/four speed and go to a 455/400 in a 79 SBWB Chevy. Thinking a 2" - 3" top chop would be cool too.

    I worked for a guy years ago that had a 430 Buick in his Chevy car hauler, he said it was the only car hauler that would light up the tires WITH A CAR ON ITS BACK:laugh:
