Well..  .. when you have 2.79 - 3.0 rear gearing in your car, I'd say that anything else with deeper gearing would outrun you! However, using "borrowed
parts" from the leftover stockpile of 340/360 engine pieces, they weren't bad cars at all. Biggest problems (besides the gearing) were the compression and valve lift/timing. There were a few 318's and maybe 360's equipped with the 308? smallblock head. Not a shabby package at all when "tuned right".
