I'd say pretty good for weighing over 2 tons, having no power, no gear and no converter.

The new combo needs a different converter and be advised the radial slicks won't work well on a nose heavy car that doersn't work nor on a junk track.

Here's 3880 lbs. with a cast iron oval port headed 468 under the hood backed by a turbo400, 8" converter, 4.10 and 30 x 10.5" radial slicks whose best 60 foot was 1.28 and ET 10.07
