Oh yeah, my friends 66 fairlane 466, rare Holman Moody 2x4, ported C8VE, healthy solid lifter, 11-ish comp. 4k stalled 3.50 geared-spooled will still spin the hell out of drag radials... NO MATTER HOW long you roast them, even at 15 psi & VHT. The whole car would literally jump into the air 1/2 an inch at launch... Torque! That's just how 460's roll....
I've got a 74 Galaxie 500. What would you say your top speed is about? It appears you have the roads up there to have found out:) Are you running D0VE-C heads or CJ/SCJ heads?
D3 heads.. thought they were just stock pass heads till i pulled them and they have CJ Size valves and almost as big ports as SCJ.. BUT the pistons are only 9-1 :( but that was also back in 78 when this was unheard of!
According to your 1/4 mile MPH and the weight of your vehicle, by the calculations your car is making 414 RWHP. So assuming you lost 20% HP in the drivetrain, your probably pushing around 497 HP at the flywheel. Also, if that 1/4 mile MPH/TIme improves (if that wasn't your best run) all of the numbers go up. Example:
460? im working 78 landua but i will put on it a 302 just with a little changes, before it had a 400ci but i do something bad with it :c . The yours if fast and freaking cool
ha, people thought grandma was out for a sunday drive then oh shit, perfect sleeper, reminds me of the ltd my grandpa hauled liqour in, even back in the 70s you couldnt sell it without a tax or liscence and there were still revenuers around in our hickville
Your LTD and mine are very close performance-wise. Last weekend I installed a 3.70 gear and a mini-spool in mine. With the old 2.75 gear it would hum down the road 2000 rpm at 60 mph, now it runs 2700 rpm at 60. I also re-calibrated my speedometer. Top speed is rpm-limited now to 115. I thought the locked-out rear axle would help, but it still blows the tires off even at a 30 mph roll, alot like yours!!
Run a 0-60 and let me know what times your getting..
Dont forget these tires im laying rubber on in this video are ET STREETS.. they are super sticky drag racing tire, and are not meant to break loose AT ALL!
You should see when I put the street tires back on...
