Cool. Just saw your reply 05GTO!! The letter code is very interesting... I knew the hp was somewhere in the 200+ range. I know that hp took a sharp drop as the 70's went on. It has been bored .030 making it a 462ci, has a mild cam(no specs at all on the cam, just has a lope at idle. Yes it's the cam and not a bad tuneup, ha ha!!), Ohio pistons(for whatever that's worth), Performer intake, Accel super coil and 8.8mm Accel wires. So it should be runin' a little better than 250hp. Would still like to get more umph out of it. Want to convert to a MSD electronic ingnition w/ignition box. Probably a 6A. Not sure that I need the limiter, wont be seeing any track. The rearend is out of a '71 with very lame 2.78 peg leg gears. Would like to put in a new rearend w/3.55 or 3.73 gears. Either a 12 bolt or 9 inch. I see Summit has a drop in 9 inch for a-bodies. I have seen tests done between the 12 bolt and 9 inch by HPP mag(along with a Dana 60 I believe) and it looked like the 12 bolt out performed the 9 inch. The tranny is a Saginaw. Want to upgrade that too. I know Muncie has a close ratio tranny that works well and would bolt right in. Know of any other good modern day tranny options that would bolt in without any mods that would work well with the forementioned set up?

Thanks for all your help....
