Fun set up? The gears were $100 new (with bearings, seals and gasket) from a guy I know so I couldn't pass them up. The overdrive keeps it all livable.
I don't know, what do these engines normally trap in the 1/4? 5500rpm in 3rd is 94mph, which seems optimistic for a 1/4 mile speed. Wallace racing calculator thinks 91mph at 3500 lbs and 215HP. Both weight and HP are assumptions.
