: I had asked about blowing a 502. The motor is going in
: a 55 chevy all steel. With the 502 8.75:1 motor what kind of boost
: can this thing handle. Havent decieded on trans yet, either th400
: or 700r4. Ive got a dana in back w/4:56 29in tires.
: The car is street driven, without doing anything except
: a cam and rocker swap etc..what kind of boost will it take? Also
: will a 700r4 trans hold up to the torque, what needs to be done?
: thank you....
to much power for a 700R4
10 pounds of boost sounds good to me
