Hypothetical - Cheap 360 Magnum Rebuild
Speaking of,Robert....how's ,the gas mileage?.
I've been plagued with multiple problems with the car. I had it out a total of 3 times this entire year. (Grooooooan & BOOOOO!)
What I have noticed but not recorded is only a guess at this time but I'm thinking maybe 15 mpg's at 70 mph with the 355's and a 245/60/15. It is reasonable around town. Hwy. driving at 70 sucks it down a good bit. Broken tach. (Grrrrrr!)
Trans is a freshly rebuilt (again!) 727 w/a 2200 stall.
The rest of the engine (for everyone else) is a 5.9,'00 magnum with hooker super comps at 1-3/4 into 2-1/2 exhaust. (Which as been an issue.)
An RPM & 650 Thunder AVS triggered by a MP chrome box. (Distributor is an issue.) '72-340 air cleaner up top.
Stock cam.
It does take off good. Not so easy to spin the wheels though. (Timing issues at the distributor)
There was a mishap at the transmission shops garage. The car was up in the air and the lift had a failure dropping the car. There was an "object" under it denting, Er, I ment, destroying the gas tank. A FBBO member to the rescue!
Just two days ago I replaced the transmission lines.
Exhaust parts on the way.
I also have to take out the seats and fix the mounting area for the drivers seat. It needs some metal and a welder.
Then I get to play electrician again.
Nothing light tail lights working, then not working, then working.....
Someday... I'd like to get a cam.
(And actually have time to put it in!)
I'd like to sell the car.
I just have to much.
