How would you build a low 10’s street car

I think I could get there with a cast head - 440 - with 2500 into the 440. pump gas, and it would live fine.
This can be done but you need to realize that if your going to use castiron heads you will need good valves 2.14/1.81 good springs keepers and retainers. Cut the open chambers down to 80cc closed down to 70cc pocket port and do a performance valve job if you can find a good set the aren't cracked. Your going to have close to a grand in your castiron heads that don't flow. You also need a cam with more duration to make work than the new aluminum heads.
Just not for under 7k with you doing as much as possible.
