Default Performance Specs

I just bought a 74 vette with a 454. I cant find any performance specs on the car... i know it has 455 ft lbs of torque but what are the 1/4 and 1/8th mile times?? stock?? does the electric fan set up help alot... i have heard that the electric fan set up on these cars will drop the 1/4 mile time 3/10ths of a second itself since the set up is a direct bolt up and it doesnt even have a fan clutch

If I was to take a wild guess, a stock 74 454 with a Th400 and 3.08s would probably be good for 14.50-14.70s@93-95mph.
