360 vs 383

The 440-3.23 B bodiies were top enders in my neck of the woods. These were about the only cars that we would outrun the State Patrol in. In 1970 the county I lived in-the County Sheriff and 3 or 4 Deputies drove 70 Charger R/T's and Coronet R/T's, all with 440 and 3.23 gears. I once heard they never got outrun in. It was pretty cool to see Hi-Impact color 440 cars with the bubble gum lights on top.
Was my understanding they had even higher gears 2.94s or 2.76s
They just be getting rolling @120 big time top end
My buddys farthers caddy either had the 472 or 501 was just getting rolling@120
