    4 speed, chained...

    Got a 65 Belvedere that I think spent much of it's life gettin thrashed on the street or strip. The 4spd is chained similar to a torque strap on the motor. Was this common or just one guys mod to secure the driveline?

    75 440 and power questions.

    Came across a decent deal on a rebuilt 75 440 and I'll get to that in a sec. Looking for a little education on these so bare with. The 70's stock motor was neutered down to 270HP or so but how it was is what I want to know? Small cam, restrictive exhaust and intake? Can you build these into a...
