The post-energy crisis Torqueflites are bulletproof and at some date had the electric, full-lock-up torque converters which conserved fuel.
I suppose tires have come a long way as far as rolling resistance.

yeah, the A518/46RH is a progression of the 727 and has the electric locker.
i've been reading a lot of suggestions in regards to aftermarket headers but usually they are talking about them in regards to increased HP numbers, and, frankly i know little about that kind of stuff - i can tune a carb with some trial and error but porting, designing exhaust, etc isn't my area.
good to know there are options - because i should have lots of leeway to install that sort of thing once it is clear of the doghouse as the camper i intend to purchase is fully gutted.
i have a friend that i believe has access to notchers and mandril benders and i can weld passibly so we have some opportunity.
Holley still has a system designed to drop on quadrajets. the adverts focus on HP gains and self tuning but my guess is it could be focused on torque instead.
