All good stuff AJ,.....but a stock 8.4:1 (1974) 4bbl 360 is around 245hp? at best, adding lets say an XE268-274, hdrs, 750 carter, and an rpm intake ain't gonna make 315hp which to me is what it needs to just go in the 12's@3500lbs at the line and thats assuming you got a good rear set up that can 60ft, thats still only mid>lowish 13's as I see it with bolt-ons. Now if you mill the heads some and do a mild clean/port/good valve job on the heads or better still bolt on a pair of stock Eddys then probably yes....the 850 Demon set up well should be worth a 1/10th as well even on such a mild tune motor, I lost 2/10ths going to a 750 from the 850 cos everyone was telling me my carb was too big, but thats a slightly different set up....just my 2 cents.
