The I-610 bridge over the Ship Channel is pretty steep. Going south from I-10, you come out of a depressed section of 610, and climb from about 20-30 feet below the ground to about 150 ft above ground at the highest point of the highway.

Memory of that bridge.
1972 Valiant, with a 170 CID Slant Six , hit the bottom of bridge at 65 MPH, by the top it was down to 25 MPH or less.
That bridge will give any diesel a good cleaning.
