340 Cuda

Hey everyone, im 23 years old and in the process of restoring my 340 notchback barracuda. When I got the car... for FREE, it was in good shape but had the formula S decals. My question is, the motor is actually from 1970, not a 1968 motor, is there any performance difference between the 1970 motor and the 1968 motor? We completely rebuilt the motor and to my surprise the insides looked brand new. Also, with todays tires, is it possible for this car to run in the 12's as is with 3:55 gears? I plan on swapping in a 5 speed tranny that i bought and im told it will make the car feel like it has 3:91 gears... is this true? Lastly.. I know many questions... Any recommendations to get this thing close to 500 HP and make it an 11 second car, that can still drive on the road? Im thinking supercharger and heads/cam ect or should I attempt a twin turbo conversion and put in a fuel injection kit... Any advice will be helpful!
