What 1/4 mile time should i expect from my 454 with 391 gears?
The vehicle is a 1946 ford pickup.
Motor is a chevy 454 with a mild cam and full exhaust, with a turbo 400 3 speed auto trans.
It doesn't feel super fast, but what 1/4 mile time can i expect?
The 454 in a lighter vechicle can do mid 12-13s or better, what your truck does is a different issue.
You put a Chev in a Ford? Sacrilege…
Your quarter time is a function of power, weight and traction…
Any idea of HP? Mid 13's possibly with a mostly stock early non-smog motor depending on wheel spin off line… Need more info on vehicle weight, tire size, rpm's at the end of 1/4 mile, rpm range of max power/torque, HP/torque figures, etc. Big blocks need to breathe so anything you can do to improve that will really help… Correct size /style headers, heads/mods, intake, proper carb, higher stall torque converter to get in power band quicker, etc.
Various sites have online calculators you can plug in some variables to see how well it will do with some fudge factors such as tire slip, axle loading, suspension setup, etc. Only way to tell is make some runs.
- What's better the famous 454 bbc or the ford 460? I love both! But I do think ford is better. But you don't see people engine swapping 460s into trucks or cars. But I'm thinking a project f100/150 old school carb 460 candy blue and chrome would be sick with tons of power. Opinions? Suggestions?
- How much money should I expect to get out of a 2005 Ford Fivehundred w/o a transmission? I have this guy offering $350 as his final offer, should I sell it to him or try a junkyard/ junk car company? I want to be nice and sell to him bc he really wants it, but I also don't know if I can get more money out of my car. I mean it only has 129xxx miles and all the other parts are good besides the transmission.
- How much money should I expect to get from selling my 2005 Ford Fivehundred without a transmission? I've been trying to sell my car for a while, and I had a guy offer $350 for it as his final offer. That's a lot less than I was hoping to get out of it, but I also haven't received many offers. On the other hand, I could sell it to a junk yard/ junk car company, and possibly get more money out of it. Half of me is wanting to be nice and sell it to the guy because he really wants it, but the other half is telling me to try junk yards for more money. What should I do
