Help with U/SA - Page 3

I'm helping a friend build a stocker. It's a 82 monte carlo with a 267 small block with a auto trans. We're looking at running it as a U car, but I have no Idea how your supposed to run this combination.I have experience running our H/SA Nova , but this looks to me like like it's going to be a whole different animal. Do we need to gear the crap out of it and try to make our ET in the 1/8 mile and then have it's tongue hanging out the last half, or do you run it like a torque combination. It's got a small 2-barrel on it so I don't even know if it will even rev up enough to run any kind of steep gear in it anyway. We'd appreciate any advice anyone can give us, especially if you happen to be running this engine or combination.
