when i started i ran low 16's all stock 2.78 open rear(but did get up to 19 mpg on the interstate) the converter dropped me down to 15.4 a posi carrier and dist re curve got me down to low 15's a 1 inch 4 hole carb spacer a 175 degree thermostat and cool October temperatures got me to a 14.58 basically all stock for a rear you need to find a 67-70 riv GS (these all came with a 3.42 gears) you can take the carrier and gears out and install in your rear i found mine for 500 on ebay bought the the whole car and parted it out or build a custom ford 9 inch scott

well the nats are over the wildcat ran very well best et was 13.13 best mph was 103.9 average et was 13.20's my last run i got a .006 light.......sadly on the red side........ but hey i was this close to a perfect light next on my list is to remove the 2.78 gears(yes 2.78's) and install the 3.42 rear add a new converter and shoot for the 12's....... just to clarify this wildcat is no longer stock new engine 462 ci 10.15 to 1 compression b4b intake TA SE stage 1 heads shorty headers scott
