- 1973 convertible in light blue with white top. Has 302 with automatic transmission.
Daily driver is a 2018 EcoBoost coupe in Lightning Blue.
All,
Starting on my journey for the 1973 convertible that will be dubbed "Kiki" after the widow of the original owner. The drive train needs to be gone through, rebuild the C4 transmission, the 8" differential, and the 302 2V engine. I could replace the entire drive train with heavier duty parts, but would prefer to keep the car mostly original.
I plan to up the horsepower on the 302 from stock when it is rebuilt, how much power can the C4 and 8" safely handle?
