Re: Oddball Muscle Cars
440RB,
The 69' Plymouth Fury 440/375HP 'Police Pursuit Vehicle' was the fastest in top speed at 147 mph, with 2.94 gears.
Oldsmobile built a Delta 88 2-door in 1970 with a 455/390HP engine, and 3.08 gears, called the 'Police Apprehender'. Not sure if it topped the
147 MPH apex.
Chrysler played around with some Holley carbs on the 'Police Interceptors', but the larger CFM carbs (though better on the top-end), were not good while idling and at low speeds for the automatic. Thats
where the higher stall converter came in, about 350-450 higher rpm
over stock. They found that the Holley 570 cfm worked best, for overall
performance.
