This better be a fun project, Ron & I run in SS and need 6.83 and even 7.17 gears to get that weight moving....we just don't think a stick will work. PG with 7" converter and utilize torque multiplication. You're stuck with 6.14...not good

In O, we help Tom Moock, he ran 12.12 at Earlville with poor bar pressure and he has a 305 with a big carb....no chance against 305's with that little WCFB spotting 40 cubes

Hate to be a killjoy, but a very tough combo for Stock in our opinion.....still love the cars however....if you press on, good luck from us
