- The 283 Chevy SB engines can move a 3200 lb car down the 1320
- in less than 12 seconds. Displacement is great, but proper
- machining and part combinations are the most important things.

- As usual, rarely can you make one change without having to make
- at least one other to reap benefits. For example, if you install
- 4.11 gears on a car with 25 inch tires, you could end up with a
- trailer queen unless you make transmission gear changes. Nothing
- like cruising down the interstate at 4500 rpms. :-)
