Hey everybody just looking for some help on a build. I am aiming to run mid-low 11's, be able to run on 91 octane and be able to drive on the street but the car probably will not or very rarely see a freeway and see the track more because that is what it primarily will be used for,racing. this is what i have so far...
1969 Dodge Dart all steel fiberglass hood (gutted interior)
69 440 bored .040
stock stroke forged crank
stock rods with flat top pistons
edelbrock performer intake
850 Barry Grant
As far as the cam goes i was thinking hydraulic roller maybe this one:
Comp Cams XR286HR-10
Now, i do have a set of '69 906 heads that probably just need a valve job and i can throw them on if i keep the cam conservative because of the valve springs or i could just buy the heads from 440source for $900 and run those along with a bigger cam. i kinda am leaning towards what i have but for the price it makes me just want to spend the extra cash for the aluminum and not skimp.
Schumacher headers
i am going to be running 3.91 gears in an 8 3/4 w/ subframe connectors and a freshly rebuilt 727 w/ a convertor that stalls in the area of 3000 and a 26.6 inch tire (until i mini tub) i will run ET Streets regardless
sorry for writing so much but there are a lot of smart ppl on this board who have probably done this before. im only 19 so this would be my first shot at a drag car and want to beat my brothers 383 Nova :) Thanks
