    What were the flywheel numbers? 460/520?

    my prediction is that the HP and torq numbers will be exactly the same @5252 RPM:laugh:

    GoldBoattail455 462 -> TH400 -> Posi

    Ok fine.

    350 HP @ 4430 RPM
    425 TQ @ 4310 RPM

    That's right about where it should be, considering the engine dyno numbers I posted above.

    I am adding an SP-1 intake (assuming my hoos clearance isn't a problem) to see if I can get any more out of it. If not, then back goes on the Performer.

    Well, SmartyPants, depending on your converter and overall weight, we're pretty evenly matched.

    Should be fun.

    Anybody want in on the action? My $50 says I win.

    I already know you'll tree me.

    As long as all we're going for is 1/4 times, then I'm game:laugh:

    Hey Adam,

    Pete here. You may remember I was interested in buying your 73 LeSabre (bamboo cream 4-door). Well, I just bought a 74 LeSabre Luxus 4-door with a 455 and 26k original miles. It's incredibly clean and straight. It's the "newest" classic car I've ever had, and the first 4-door so I was a little hesitant, but I just could pass on this super clean car. I'll post pix as soon as I get it home, but any encouraging words about how much you liked your 4 door LeSabres are welcome:pray:

    Will post pix as soon as I get home.

    Hey Pete,

    Congrats on the new acquisition! I will always have a soft spot for the 4 door cars. Sometimes I just can't pass them up!:laugh:

    I would love to see some photos of the new ride:beer
