Agreed a bigger carb would help, haven't been to track since I got the 880 holley. along with better converter. have to look into some 1.6 rockers. Thanks. Remember Herb McCandless telling me a long time ago I would go .4 to .5 sec quicker if a used a dominator. guess I should have listened.

2.02 valve , carb when racing was a BG 750 DP (that could be bigger). using a holley 880 cfm vacuum sec. on street. also just noticed the converter is a 4200. might consider 1.6 rockers. T&D still good? or is there a better option?

Still here, just a slow typer.

Was thinking 10.2's I think the W2's have alot left. They are basically untouched from when I bought them new 40+ years ago. they have been on the car probably 35 years. Mild pocket porting, back cut the valves, think thats it. The STX-21 cam (.560 lift) was put in when it became a street...

Thanks Rumblefish, These are awesome!

Thanks Guys, now just have to decide between a stroker, or R3 with a roller with Indy heads, or R3 with a roller with my W2 heads.

Planning next engine. current engine is 360 12:1 (actual), STX-21 cam, W-2 heads with pocket porting, Holley W2 intake, 4:56 gears. car weighs 3100 w/ driver. this motors dyno'd at 510HP maybe a little more now with better carb. current best is 10.64 at 125. So if I leave everything the same...

'71 Duster 2860# (3100 with driver) ladder bars, Think mine were 120's, remember thinking that seemed pretty light, but they worked good. Best bet would be to call or email some of the chassis places and see what they suggest.

Interesting to see some 1/4 mile times and speeds. Still remember how the ''275" HP 340's were way faster then the 300+ HP chevies.

Thanks rumble, but I've got a pretty good idea of how stuff works. was just trying to add some clarity on what problem the pop sticks were originally used to correct.

???

They told me it had to do with fuel pooling in certain intake runners, the sticks caused a little turbulence , that helped keep fuel and air mixed (on the std. 340 heads anyway)

Would like to see that, I remember using "popsicle sticks" in the Offy port-o-sonic manifolds with std. 340 heads. Never saw any used with W2 stuff. Thanks

I got some too. Guess we should have bought more. :) Mine are still alive and well and in use.

Yes keep front clamps tight, maybe add one or two. Also most mild 440's don't have to worry about "massive" wheel stands. :)
