these had a 8 inch rear axle in them originally right?

@ralphp1800 7 1/4" for the 6 and 8" for the v8

I have a couple of questions.....first off, the most important, what kind of numbers are you running? Also, I've heard the aluminum cylinder head from Classic Inlines gives these sixers 40+ horsepower from stock....is that true?

[chsalabama111]

@corvettels9 I am running around 165 hp maybe a little more. the CI head is good for 40 hp with a potential for 200 plus hp with a mild cam and header.

[corvettels9]

@chsalabama111 I see. A couple more questions.....how's it on gas? after you did all of your mods, did you notice an improvement in gas mileage, or did it go down? Also, what does the 165 HP feel like.....as in do you think it's enough for the car?

[chsalabama111]

@corvettels9 I have not checked mileage since it is a weekend car. mileage should be the same or slightly better as long as you are easy on the throttle.according to the original road test data from several sources both 0 to 60 times and top speed are faster than the factory optioned v8 4 speed for that year(260 v8).the six runs strong for its size but its not a hot rod.If you want a hot rod go with a 302 or 331 stroker.

Sounds great!

Man that thing has a nice rumble to it.

[corvettels9]

@chsalabama111 Yeah....I wasn't actually going for a hotrod type thing....I was thinking about like a '70 or a '71 Maverick with a 200, to build into a daily driver with some power. I like the 200's because I'm looking for reliability, and I heard these 7 bolt main 200's were indestructible.

@Craig123Jesus 6/3/2/ and I did use the divider. as for the stand I could'nt wait to listen to it run through the mufflers.

[alahsux]

Man, that thing sounds awesome! How do you have your headers set up? Is it a 4-2 split? I've they used to do this back in the 60's, but I've never seen or heard it.

Great sound! BTW, I LOVE the stand for the left side muffler! Looks like something I would do, and I have in fact!
