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

More horsepower and less weight are obvious, but a 2.73 rear end is a pretty darn high ratio for drag racing. I'll bet the 3.5 will make a huge difference. Surprised you are not going for a 411. I assume you have a 3 speed automatic?
yep i got a turbo 400 trans
as for gears i dont think you can get 4.11 for the buick 9 3/8 big car rear
they did make some 3.90 sets but they are real rare
it took me 7 years to find a set of 3.42's

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

hoping for more with the cool air on Saturday
just need to shave 14 more hundredths......................
12's would be sweet...........

the 69-70 lasabre will also be a parts car
scott

Did you do anything with the pump? Mine wouldn't lay over until it was in second gear at around 4k rpms.
the only thing i have done is block off the return line
will have to take it out and see what happens
scott
-
well after some fine tuning
it is pulling up to 5500 smooth no popping spitting or sputtering
time to take it back to the track
scott
-
exhaust done
dynomax super turbo long case mufflers with 2 1/2 " duals out the back
went to the track
and i have problems..........
car went 13.84 but was cutting out / popping and cracking at around 4700 rpm's
never got a good run in..........
on a better note just got back from the BPG meet where i picked up a
9 3/8's big car 3.42 posi rear
huge thanks to Tom Wagner
