My brother ran the numbers for my uncle while they were doing work and it turns out to be a 175hp~ish corvette sourced 350.I know he won't get his one-wheel-peel off the line in front of the Cat with 265s and a locker.

FPR question... Reply #10 – December 26, 2007, 07:56:40 PM 265's are alot of tire for only 220 at the crank, figure 190 at the wheels just for the sake of using numbers and rough guesses. i would begin to worry about trying to get all that tire rotating, alot more rotating mass then 245's. there is too much of a good thing sometimes, you know?

I could not beat the deal for 2 wheeles/tires for $40. I wanted an extra set of wheels for something stickier on down the road, but these were a plus.Quote from: grutinator;194561i would begin to worry about trying to get all that tire rotating, alot more rotating mass then 245's.I think that would point more in the department of torque.|Now that I think of it, I just might do a test on times/traction with air filled Vs. Nitrogen filled.:hick:Then I will test prepped Vs. non-prepped street tires more then I already have.http://www.sptimes.com/2005/09/28/Tampabay/Nitrogen_in_your_tire.shtmlI LOVE the last sentence in that article, it's what I always tell people who skimp on tires:D Quote Selected

My buddy has a 350 auto with 2.43's out baack. Runs perfect, but slow.Yeah in the 70s, but no '68 ever had 2.43s... Maybe 2.91(or similar), but I'm figuring a R/S had at least 3.23sAnd no 3.50??? Probably more R/Ss had 350s than any other engine... Quote Selected
FPR question... Reply #14 – December 27, 2007, 08:12:27 AM It's a '69. The build sheet says 2.43's. Original owner was 24 years old at date of purchase from dealership in Nassau County New York. Sorry, I should have specified it was a '69. Quote Selected
