Greetings Quinn & all; I haven't seen any info about this Black Air, I'll try & make time in the days ahead to take a look. I'm not much of a V-6 guy, don't care for the exhaust note. And the last thing I want to do is put boost on my rod bearings, because I know myself to well. Some boost would not be enough I would Have to have MOre & once you have boost more is easy. What's better than cubic inches, More cubic inches! So that being said "what's better than boost, MOre boost"! A man has to know his limitations, Laugh now please.
Last summer a buddy with a 1969 2 door post (very rare) SS Chevelle, L78 clone came by & put me behind the wheel. It runs low 12's High 11's & the steering components are old, lots of free play. I only speed shifted it NO power shifting & I had to lift because I couldn't steer it or keep it in the right lane. So few weeks later I took the Bronze Brick over to his place (the BFG DOT slicks were on at the time) and put him in the drivers seat. I mentioned that he should roll out to about 30 MPH (tires might-could-should maybe hook-up) and hammer it, DO Not touch shifter let the trans do the shifting (6500 RPM), just steer it. The tires did hook & we made a little over a hundred. He said "man is that easy to drive", it goes straight & does all the shifting for you @ 6500. The hardest part driving Brick is pushing your right foot down. Take care guys, Bob Jr.
