[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4085353, member: 15054"] Excellent. It is heavier than my 47 Dodge truck and bigger brakes. 3600 with me in it and my truck is 3280 with me in it. I have Big GM disc on the front with 12" x2.5" Ford drums on the rear. 9" ford rear with chevy truck springs added. 350" from a 1969 Station wagon and ported 305 heads 10.76 compression, a small cam 268H on a 114 LSA 218@ .050 duration. RPM intake, ported 600 Edelbrock carburetor. Quick timing curve, 91 octane fuel. I do not care for the cam but it was an experimental grind. Thinking of going back to the 268H on a 110 LSA or just stick in another 280H Ran high 12's in the 1/4 with the 280H cam. For now it gets on down the road. I stuck 2.75 gears in the 9" and do not like those so much. TH350 transmission. I have some 3.25 gears I think I will stick in there. Towing sweet spot on these 350" engines of mine are in the 2800 RPM area and the 2.75 gear is down from that a bit. Less rpm does not always mean more MPG. Found that out decades ago. Everything needs to work together. [/QUOTE]
