Budnicks, my plan for the car is really simple, have fun for as little money as possible. I am a retired Firefighter on fixed income, so money has to be well spent. I am taking your advice and am trying to get as much knowledge and info as possible. I am blessed to live where I do as NC has probably as many drag strips as anywhere else. I have racing neighbors that race everything from pro mods to stockers. You have to filter the advice sometimes , but they have been more than willing to help. To answer your question; I plan the following:
.030 over 440 with stock steel crank
Stealth heads w Harland Sharp rockers
M-1 intake w/ 750 Holley race carb, flows over 800 cfm
Hooker 17/8 headers
Rebuilt 727 w 3500 stall converter
4.10 w/ spool
275-60 drag radials or 11.5 x 28 ET Streets
Cal Trac bars
I already have all these parts except the Cal Tracs and spool. Some may not be optimum but My goal is 11-12 seconds on street tires so I can run in the street and trophy classes. My local track has a 11.49 heads up class that I would like to run that is geared towards street type cars. I will be looking for advice and suggestions as I go along. I have to get the block machined, buy pistons and cam. I like the challenge of doing this with out stroking or power adders as so many are doing.
