This page is all about the power. No pics yet, but there is a graph, oh goody! Motor is going be re-painted soon (by me of course i want it done right) I'm working off of the 260 olds platform, it's got some mods. Heddman Headers, Engel JM16H Hyd. cam, dual exhaust, the good stuff baby!. The car is packing a decent punch.
Here is the real deal folks:
279 Ft. Lbs. @ 3500 RPM
200 HP @ 4000 RPM
This car has option M27...which is the 5 speed manual tranny. I thought it was unbelivable a late 70's car came with a 5 speed tranny, stock. It's nuts i think, but i love it.
I love the 5 speed, and no, it's not a borg warner T-5. Not exactly sure what the hell it is as far as companies go. BUT this tranny has really close ratios, which is good for my particular setup because i can launch at around 2000 RPM and once up to 4 grand, i can keep engine speed between around 3500 and 4000 RPM! this is really what makes the performance of the car, because that 500 RPM range is right where i make the power, and launching around 2000-3000 is where i make alot of torque. Can't wait to get those cragar SS wheels on, with some stickier tires out back. Launches too far over 2 grand usually make for tiresmoke :)
