It will be in a 500hp 6.1 with ported heads-219/231 camshaft, stock 6.1 intake and TTI headers-2.5" Super Turbo H-pipe exhaust, Sachs 10.5" stock replacement clutch, heavy steel Hemi 10.5 flywheel, a 1970 B Body 833, 27" tall tire and a 3.23 Dana or 8.75" with a Helical sure grip.
A 3500 lb 68 roadrunner that I'm going to daily drive again, and I'll likely pull the 833 and go T56 down the line. It's a pro touring car on a budget right now.
What thinks you all? Will it move in first gear properly? I need to drive my 20 mile one way trip to work in at least the middle lane. RPM's don't worry me, I'll keep a semi quiet exhaust.

The 3.09 first gear set up is cool, however you will probably break it! Its not very strong. I know as I put a NOS set in my Cuda years ago. Had a 475 HP small block with a 3.55 rear. Ran good fora while then nocked lotsa teeth off on Woodward one night. Didn't Chrysler recommend the 3.09 - 1.00 gear set for drag racing back in the day? Hard to say if the gears were the problem or something else. Anyone know if the metallurgy has changed throughout the years?

I built a tranny for a friend who raced a 1970 340 Duster, it was a stock tranny to start with and I swapped the stock 2.65 gears and cluster to a set of stock 3.09 gears and cluster from a 1965 NP833 A body 4 speed, he had installed a Dana 60 with 5.57 gears in it with ladder bars and a slider set up on the stock leaf springs. I drove that car more than once at the track, you where really busy the first 300 feet Let the clutch out at 7000 RPM and try and shift at 7000 RPM and wait for the 1/4 mile finish line to come up He never broke that tranny or rear end

It will move properly, and it will probably be fine as long as you don't abuse it with sticky tires.
If you have rock hard regular daily driver street tires, no worries. DOT slicks-It's a matter of when...Worry. Drag Radials-probably worry, be careful.

I miss the simplicity of a carb and how it was with the big block and there is no going back now.
Not many who have done what you have done, would admit that. Hats off to you. I think you'll be all right with the regular street tires.
