" From: farna@xxxxxxx " " " From: "Garry Nordstrom" <gasnordstrom@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " " " talking about tranny's, , I am putting that 343, dynoed at 408 HP in the 79 " " amx, I am going to reinforce the frame but am concerned about the factory 4 " " sp and rear end, my goal is to hit the 10's, last run before retirement, " " then to my 79 concord electric car,,,info apprecitaed, I am not that sharp " " on these things. " " Garry " " The 79 factory four speed is an SR4. It won't handle 200 hp very well, " 408 will rip it apart! even a t5 wouldn't fare well. the strongest factory ones - the ford svt '7003z' - are only good for 330 ft-lbs. [0] g-force and a couple of others have road racing gearsets that are supposed to be good for 600hp, but even if so they'd be useless for the quarter. [0] it would be interesting to know how the t5 in the mustang 351 cobra is set up, and how it lasts. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
