Subject: Re: 318 Detroit: Max rpm for tractor pull?


The 8V-92N (no turbo) had a 2.6 to 1 overdrive blower. The 8V-92 Turbo and 8V-71 (318) have a 2.1 or 1.9 to 1 overdrive blower. Many years ago, I saw the 2.6 gears put in an 8V-92 Turbo to boost power and acceleration. It really worked, but more changes were done at the same time. I think the same gear set (you might have to change the rear housing) will fit the 8V-71. This is not something you can do in a few hours and fuel economy will suffer.
