robertf #3850, GMC Manifold w/Three Weber 32/36s - I have been enjoying a 1940 Chevy Coupe with a mild 302 engine since I rebuilt it in 1990 -92. The cam is an Isky E2 #281222 (Clift .298, Vlift .448, Dur 264, Dur@.050 228, Lash .018). It idles well and pulls well up to about 4500 rpm but it is noisy. Transmission is a T-5 non-WC V8 (1st 2.95, 2nd 1.94, 3rd 1.34, 4th 1.0, 5th .63). It works great but 11 inch clutch takes a lot of effort. May change to 200r4 soon. Overdrive is great on Freeway and works fine at 1000 rpm on back roads. Rear is 9 inch Ford with 4:11 gears and positraction. Weight is 3450 lbs. 1/4 mile best is 15.88 seconds and 88.9 mph. Good luck with your 48 Chevy project. Frank Hainey (radar)
