A500 in a 1970 A Body

SSDA67 said
I put a 518 in a A-Body with a 500 Cubic In 968 HP engine and a 8 3/4 4.30 gear.It was on a Street Tire and ran 9.20's and got 14MPG...


The transmissions will both hold a lot of HP and dependable..The MYTH of a 904/500 is what some people THINK..."I" have broken EVERYTHING Including aftermarket "Bulletproof" Housings..

I'm not saying it won't but dollar for dollar, its going to take a lot more modification for the 500 to handle the HP than the 518. All depends on how much money you have to spend.
