Finally got out to the 1/4 mile track at Rock Falls WI. The weather was perfect with 70 degrees and sunny. This was the first time at this track with these heads. So now I get to move from the 10 sec to the 9 sec forum. The car is a white 1976 feather duster gutted out to be a racer. Here are the details

Flattop pistons from ICON
RPM H-beam rods
block filled with hard block to just above the freeze plugs
ARP main and head studs
cheap roller timing chain

stock oil pump
homemade 7 qt deep center sump oil pan with extended pickup and slosh baffle.
mopar windage tray
Edelbrock Victor intake
Edelbrock Super Victor standard port heads with pocket porting only
440 source .650 offset roller rocker arms (they tear up rocker shafts, be warned)
Crower standard pushrods

electric water pump
electric fan
no alternator
MSD 6AL
440 Source aluminum water pump housing

Replaced torsion bars with Viking coil over shocks from QA1

I launch just off idle at about 1900 RPM and seem to be going through the traps at 6,700. I shift at 6,400 but it seems to be falling off in power by then.
The car weighs 2,800 or 3,000 with driver and gas. This calculates to about 650 HP.
No nitrous or turbo or electronics.

I'm pretty happy with this, but you always start thinking about what could be done next. Selling the torqueflite and get a powerglide, would be the next logical step I suppose. Any suggestions? Oh, and the timeslip was my best the yesterday, but I redlighted cause I couldn't see the last amber in the setting sun and tried to leave on the second last light and guessed wrong. The other driver saw my redlight in his mirror and let off. The competition is stiff and if you don't get a good light, you can forget it.

The engine was built almost entirely based upon Andy's book How to Build Max Performance Mopar Big Blocks. This book should be required reading for any big block driver. The car and engine and transmission was homebuilt in a two stall garage with only ordinary machine work and the roll cage done by outside help.

Certainly not the only way to get into the 9s but this seems to work.
