I had a 86 allegro 32' /454 carb that was a beast....it pulled wolf creek and raton pass in 3rd gear..../30 MPH tho....no toad. 400 trans...4:86 rear.....but if you shifted to 2nd for more revs you were lost.....unbelievable torque at low speed.....
Now....I would not feel good about pulling a 3500 lb truck up steep grades.....I'd disconnect and have DW drive it....
But try it and see what happens...maybe yours will feel good doing it.
Torque at low speed? Does that mean no power or what?
Disconnect and have DW (?) drive it. What's DW?
I won't be able to try it until I actually buy it so I'm shying off a bit. We'll see though.
Thanks,
