thats only like a 36 hour drive lol

bigcasey; a 7.25 will hold up against a mild 318 if you don't flog it. Many 273 cars had the 7.25. The later M body (5th aves) used 7.25s too. People look under them and see 3" tubes and say " ah hah! 8.25" but if you look close, the tubes swage down at the center section to 7.25 size.
