Just joined

Hi,
It seems like every time I did a search looking for information on my car, this site popped up. So I figured I better join. I have a 1968 Dodge Charger with a 383(number matching). It was my first car. I bought it in Mississippi while in the Air Force for $4800 in 1995. I am currently building a 440 engine to drag race with. Don't want to ruin the 383.

Here are some pictures. The blue Satellite is my fathers 72 with a 440. I am trying my very first performance engine build. I did a lot of reading and research. It is a 73 440 block with steel forged crank, speed pro pistons 10.1 compression ratio, edelbrock performer RPM intake, 800 Edelbrock carb, Stealth CNC ported heads(figured I'd give em' a try), crane gold roller rockers, Comp Cam 545 lift. The car will get 4.10 gears and Nitto drag radials. It has a 727 with reverse manual valve body. Still assembling the engine but I have all the parts. It is not 100% the way I wanted to do it but money is a factor and I had some of the parts so I needed to make sure everything match well. I want to be in the high 11's in the 1/4 mile.
