Have a 440 bore 30 over. Car has 727 tqf.486 gears .950qf carb. Edelbrock rpm performer heads. Weight is 2850. Like to run mid to low 10's. Have about 2k to spend. All ideas opinions welcomed. Thanks.
I see you have a 67 deck lid on it. I got my 66 down to 2950 while still driving it with the AC still on it. A lot of people didn't think you could make these cars that light but it's really not that hard. A buddy and I ran a 69 road runner with a .030 440, ported 906 heads, .590 DC cam, an old Torker intake, 850 (your carb is better) 11.5-1, 4 speed, 5.88's, ladders and coil overs. This was back in 1980 when 10.70's was pretty quick for a combo like that. Looks like you have ladders with leafs? which make suspension tuning hard(er) at best. What are your short times?
My 66 started out at 3370 with a /6, auto and ac. The rest is pretty simple with manual steering and brakes. Glass hood, no front bumper or floor mat (came with rubber mats), undercoating removed, rear seat, rear window regulators and even some metal was removed. I have a Greenly hole punch kit too2950???!!!!! Crap, I just weighed my car and it's 3735 without me in it! Obviously the rusted out holes in the quarters didn't help much.
