I’ve heard the term Super T10 and I always thought it was a GM 70s thing.
I believe they had thicker gears kinda like a Toploader but I’m not sure. And I believe the housings were aluminum as well.
Cool Falcon though.
Like Fred I’m amazed they squeezed that power out of a “289”. Gotta be a screamer! 8)

That's got to be a hefty power/weight ratio. :shock: I'll bet she's a face-flattener coming out of the turns into the straights. :lol:

Probably have to feather the throttle out of the corner and be able to chase the rear end or your going around !
