RE: Performer RPM package on '67 410 |

If the motor hasn't been gone through for a long time, or wasn't rebuilt with performance in mind, putting the Performer RPM package on it would be a mistake on multiple fronts.
First, there's a good chance the engine won't live through trying to use that power; second, you'd miss so much all the low-mid range power you LOST, you'd hardly notice the top end.
Similarly, if you try to select parts now, to work with your existing car/engine combination, you'll find that most of them aren't what you want if you DO put the 410 into something smaller/lighter later on. Plan your move to a new platform, and save most of your money for that project.
In the meantime, recurve your distributor, get a low restriction air cleaner and bump the carb jets up a notch or two, throw on some less-restrictive mufflers, and get a 3.25 or 3.50 differential from a salvage yard. You'll probably spend less than $200, and I'll bet you notice a good difference in the way the ol' girl moves! |
