Was the 3.73 rear in the F body limited to 4 speeds only?

No, you could order it on the M40 Formulas & TA's. Here's the PHS of one so equipped.

It is hard to beat the old Ultradyne 288/296 HFT in a 455 also.

Dave Bisschop's Stump Puller hydraulic roller cam was popular.

230/236 dur @ .050" lift .590"/.592" lift with 1.52 ratio rockers 112 lobe sep

"In a recent dyno test this cam installed in a 464ci engine with 9.5 to 1 compression, a set of our 250-260cfm CNC ported #11 cast iron heads,
CNC ported cast iron Q-jet intake and a prepped Q-jet carb made 503hp and 575+ lb/ft of torque on 91 octane."

SD Performance revised Stump Puller:

Part number 51-000-11
Grind number: P8 3194B / 3196B HR112+5

281 / 287
230 / 236
.3890 / .3910
112.0 LSA / 107 ICL

His old Stump Puller mentioned above used lobes 311B and 3122B / note it has less valve lift

If Dave is not available both can be ordered custom with any Comp Cams dealer.

All and all the engines were detuned but the parts were available to mix and match heads,cam and so on to make competitive hp.Thanks to the one block design.
