Please! I am curious to know also , strange I had that thought also this morning. To turn it 1:1.5 wouldn't that require a more power full motor than normal like a 454 or a diesel/ turbo diesel ?
To take it a step further;
on an I/O would you need a beefier I/0 for a powerful motor or diesel?
My purpose is not to derail disrupt the above question but to get additional answers on same subject.
