Goin V-8

Delays in getting the motor from the seller cause me to sit and dream/Resarch all day long!

According to litrature I have read so far, the motor was only 180HP from the factory (2bbl). I want to be able to run it in my local Street ET Class, the rules State:

Street ET

The quickest time allowable in this class is 13.00 seconds. A wide variety of vehicles from trucks to sub-compacts can be found in the starting field. There are no electronics allowed; however, racers are allowed line locks. Racers in this class often drive the car they will be racing to the track. This is a dial-your-own class run on a 5-tenths full tree.


I did make contact with my cars previous owner, and he thinks the rear in the car was a " 320 something" Will this help with determining the best course of action for my build? It is an 8.25, and I am planning on using another 904. I think this 904/8.25 should be fine in a 13.5 ish car no? I do still plan to daily drive this car, so reliability is a requirement as well.
