Odd option on LS6 Chevelle

Wow, I can't believe that if there was a 3.08 geared LS-6 Chevelle built, that there was a 2.20 First gear close-ratio Muncie attached to it. With that relatively long-duration camshaft and that combined "launch ratio" of 6.77 (2.20 x 3.08), this just had to be the biggest slug of an LS-6 ever made. I'm having trouble believing that they would even produce this. Maybe with a wide-ratio 2.5 Muncie or a TH 400, I could see.

I had a 64 327-365 Vette and planned a trip from PA to AZ back in the day. It had a close ratio 4sp and I stuck a 3.08 in it for the trip. I can tell you for sure it was a slug out of the hole with that high reving solid lifter cam. I got blown off by a 350 2bbl Chevelle at a red light in Tucson. I was so embarrassed! I could run 1st gear up over 70MPH no problem.
