Not just a 15" tire (wheel), but a tire that's larger in diameter than what
you have now. I'm guessing your current tires are abo
The ratios of a THM400 and other 3 speeds are nearly
identical. The only other thing that might help is a switch

a GV Overdrive, go for it - but your choice of
transmission is a separate matter. Decide whether you're going with a
TH400 or a TH350, then put the GV unit behind your choice.

Bruce,
The Toro may have the right pickup for a deep pan, but
isn't it standard volume? Any pump can have the restricted
flow pressure raised by increasing spring pressure, what
is a good way to check the pressure?

Kenneth,
So how many quarts of oil are recommended to be used with the larger
pan?
I read a few posts about using only 5 or maybe 6 quarts for a much
larger pan
so that the oil level in the pan is sufficiently below the crank to
prevent
splashing and foaming.
Yeah, I've heard people say that

Bruce, Keith, Brian, and the List,
In what I sent out, I just noticed a change that needs to be made. The
paragraph on oil pumps needs to read thusly:
"4) Use the Melling - 22FHV high volume oil pump or the Toronado oil pump
with the high pressure spring. The Melling has a much better oil pic
You know, I've seen this discussion before and I knew as soon as Bruce
mentioned it, there would be a flurry of "Don't use restrictors" I still
can't figure out why you guys are so dead set against these, because

Bruce,
I told you earlier to go with a big block. A set of headers and having to
adapt a couple pipes to the new headers are not much work, considering what
else you are up against. If he shop can build reliable 600 horse olds 350
engines for 4k, I will take 20 of them, as I can easily resell

"beware of unintended consequences."

Not exactly.
They said that Olds engines pump too much oil to the heads,

That's easy enough to do. I had my '72 Cutlass running 13.80's just by
swapping out the cam, making it a 4v w. Performer RPM intake and changing the
rear gears to 3.73's. Had stock x-mans with 2 1/4" duals. Mid 13's were only
