I've had mine well over 100 mph, more like 120. I've got a 283 bored .040, deck milled, stock dished pistons, crane RV cam, rhoads lifters and 1.6:1 aluminum roller rockers on screw in studs. I run headers into a cheap kit dual exhaust w/out a crossover. Holley 4150 4 barrel, HEI distributer.TH 350 tranny with a shift kit. I lowered it about 3.5 inches also. 265-70-15's in back.
When I had the three on the tree, I had a real monster cam (rumpity rumpity), and could smoke a set of 295-50-15's for half a block and about 50 mph in 1st gear. Had a q jet carb that had manual secondaries and wished I'd never got rid of it. That thing was awesome. Went to the automatic and had to detune the cam so it would idle in park.
Now back in high school whenit was a stock beater 307 that had a questionable cylinder or three, crappy exhaust and even crappier tires, it would top out at about 85 mph. Point is, if you want speed, you'll have to work for it with the little engine that could(283).
