Excellent fuel economy.   Ridiculous top speed potential (200+) but only IF 
you have 600 hp or more.

Tom Todak has this combination (by the way, it's 3.77, not 3.73) in his 
Pantera, and with a stock Cleveland it turned the car into a real dog.   He 
eventually put a 427 stroker Windsor in there and that fixed it right up! :>)
