Actually yes, but the car doesn't look very nice.

Meep-Meep the car looks fine, add a little more cam, a hotter ignition, adjustable rockers, better carb & a looser converter it could be in the high 11's... It looks like it's driven too me, just not show car quality, I like it !!!!

I agree it not that bad looking at all and I like that body style. And you drive and enjoy it ! Thats what its all about. Ron
 
Thanks guys. Adjustable rockers are in place. I built this engine as a test to see how the factory six pack will do and as a general long life street engine. Once I get the six pack on and tested this engine is off to its new home and I get a little more crazy.

Sounds like the man has a plan, I love them 6bbls on the street... I would suggest to get some better metering block/plates, I went with a Quickfuel Tech. tuneable for the center 350cfm carb, Promax tunable plates for the 500cfm out boards & 50cc acc. pump, slightly lighter vacuum diaphragm springs, larger squirter & staggered jetting it makes a big difference for drivability/tuneability....
 
Meep;I'm very impressed that you're running those numbers through that restrictive air cleaner. The combo I'm planning is very similar;your engine specs are close,3.91 gear with the new 9X29.5 slicks are in my plans. I was hoping to run mid-to-high 12's myself;looks like it's possible.

Looks like we are on the same page! My Promax metering block should be in this week :hello2: I didn't bother with the out board carbs but it's not out of the question. I'll just see how it runs.

That air cleaner pic was a joke that I sent to someone. What is not evident is the smaller diameter base, which allows the air to enter from under the lid like the factory unsilenced version. I normally run with an open element Moroso but right now I have a late single snorkel with the vacuum flap and the 340 pie tin. It doesn't take much to run high 12's in a 440 B body.
 
worth it

It's well worth the added cost for tuneability, the factory restrictive mass produced metering plates are not so great sometimes, at least get some numbered drills between #68-#82 & check the sizes for consistency on the factory metering plates jetting bores sizes...
 
A360 those are a couple of nice quick car/combos there... I like the A-Body Dart, it's little different than ours here...

Very nice looking, well performing 65 Coronet you have there, mild engine/camshaft combo for sure, those 4.30:1 gears & 9.5" 3800rpm stall must be fun on the street, hope you don't need to get on the freeway much... LOL...
