I have a Federal Mogul 143 version. The price was right, but I have not installed it yet. Should I get the Crane? 375hp engine in 69 Camaro , M20,3.31 rear. Hoping for mid to low 12's. What do you think?

I'm sure the &quot;1320 boys&quot; will chime in on this...seems to me you would need a little more gear to get there...but, maybe with headers, good tune and traction it might work. The M20 will help the low end torque...wilma

depends what you have for tires and exhaust.. if its a 10:1 bone Stock engine, with small tires and manifolds.. i would bet you will make 13:40's with 3:31 gears... IMO...



Its hard to say!! we need more info on what you have for a set up. 3:31 is not a 1320ft friendly gear..

Thats what i meant by &quot;bone stock&quot; usually a slapped together big block only came in at 10:1 or so from factory. 100% agreed still. Lucky to get out of the mid 13's if this is the case.
