Re: I cant believe I'm finally posting on this site!

1970 was one of the best years for the 472 (7.7L). Bone stock it was rated at 375hp/525tq. This engine was meant to haul a 5200lb. deville with 5 people and all their crap. Not to mention it was the same engine used for limo's,hearse's and ambulances. Now put that engine in a 'lil pick'em up and look out! Put a 2000 stall converter in it and some 3.42/3.55 gears in it and it will come alive!! Any vids of what it sounds like??? Pleeeeeaase??
