I had played with my '82 for many years; finally ending up with a set of 3.55's, a roller cam, Dart heads, and a Renegade intake. It'll run mid 90's in a quarter mile but after I bought my 454" powered '71 in 2009 and worked it over it runs 105+ mph quarter miles with it's A/C on! What a difference another 100 cubic inches make but it handles like a Greyhound bus. With the additional 250 pounds in the front it plows into corners but the ride is as smooth as a much heavier passenger car. And with it's lower seats and narrower transmission tunnel it has a lot more interior room. I modified it's L-88 style hood last summer for ram air and I immediately gained an additional 3-1/2 mpg; going from 10-1/2 to 14 mpg in my everyday 45-55 mph driving. I'm hoping to go to the coast sometime this summer and I think it'll get 16 mpg at a higher cruising speed.
Do any of you have big block power?
