I ran a Saginaw 4-speed behind a decent street 292 in a 66 Chevy II weighing about 3300lbs. It ran 14.5s here at 2700 feet on drag radials leaving at ~3000 rpm and never had a trans problem. Did need to go to better axle shafts however....
Pretty good.
Just curious,why is the Nova heavy?
My friends 66 Nova 350,cast iron heads,aluminum intake,400 SB weighed 2800 Lbs,one fiberglass fender & hood,all else steel & glass,no Lexan,stock suspension & Weld wheels. TH350 auto w/10" converter.
How much does a 292 weigh?
A 230-250 inline is about 100 LBS lighter than a cast iron std SBC.
