Years ago I had a 74 Malibu that had a mild 454, with a built TH 350. Hammer it it would leaveabout 20' of rubber going into 2nd, and about 6' into 3rd. It lived behind that motor for two years. I wailed on it allot. Its still in my Blazer behind a strong 350 as I write this. I bought it used out of an 85 C 10 with a 5.7 HO Camaro motor in it.
