didnt mean to overreact, but dont insult the C3s. mine is 81 also but far from the way it came, 383stroker/500hp , wouldnt trade for anything, hope you feel that way about yours someday

I love them all , what rear end ratio makes you match the power, sometimes a good set up out performs bone crushing horsepower, (ie drive train set up is critical) Have you adressed this issue or you have a 355 or 307 chunk; like em scary fast. Art

dana 3.31 gears, built by Duntov Motors in dallas, installing 700R4hd trans next week from Monster trans, motor is from Patriot Perfornance, with the lower 1st gear and 2500 stall , well you do the math

sounds real nice, gonna do something about my chunk ratio; 307 looking to rebuild and maybe try for the 355 ratio, did you take all the rotten rubber bushings out from underneath, I upgraded to polyurathene, my bushings were shot, this really helped. afraid to pull a hole shot though. keep me posted will eventually be smart enough to post some pictures, think mine might be best in Memphis;

mine had frame off restore in 2001 so everything underneath is still like new very few miles when i bought it . w/new motor holeshots are wild. i had 3.55 s in my 79 , worked pretty well, still hiway friendly
