My SD is currently set up as a 3.07 with 2600stall converter and its a land rocket. Can launch off the line almost as fast as my 420 does!
My W116.120 has whatever was stock in 1978 behind a 617.950 engine....

It's OK on the usual 2-1 downshift start, but it's definitely not as quick as it was with 3.07's...
