318 build up

thanks rumblefish, im looking to build something that could run 12's, maybe.... 11's at the quarter, every blue moon i could get to the track, yet still run on pump gas and be o.k. to take the wife and daughter out tooling around.
from my homework, i have an 8 1/4 rear, not the best from what ive read, looking for an 8 3/4, im not afraid of the 904, read alot of trash talking on it compared to the 727, then found many who use the 904 for race apps.
definately dont want some tuner retard smoking me at a red light too, im not against putting a FORD 9" in it (dodgetkboy78) lol !!!
just looking to build a fun car with a punch, but not in need of race gas, etc...
thanks, always loved mopars, i think they had a handle on the era more than anyone, just fell into fords back in the day, small blocks had the distributor straight and up-front, fender mounted starter soleniod unlike chevy, now w/ age and some more $$$ here and there i can start my mopar era, one day a 67-69 notchback cuda !!!!!!!!
