18 year old with Mopar project NEED ADVICE!!!

A 360 can make enough power to run the time. That is one part of the math equation. Another part is s car weight. Then traction.

Now, can you build the car light enough? Lighter the car, less power the engine has this make.
Also, the build MUST be mighty stout! Your working a smaller engine harder.

This is where bigger the better comes in. Be it a stroker small block, or big block, stroked or not, the bigger it is the easier it is to make power.

Big blocks carry a slight weight disadvantage but over come it in power. However, where the weight is placed also makes a difference.
Big blocks one have 1 trans, the 727. But adapter kits are out there for GM transmissions.
At the power level sought, there are two fears to consider. A Ford 9 or DANA 60.

Have fun! And welcome aboard !!!!
