10's on $5,000 ?

You know as much as I do. not much.
318 is in the planning stage with the engine build.
I see a big block in his future.
I thought you were talking about you...
I think he's waiting to throw his big trump card down and squash all the naysayers LOL..
 
If he gets either one of his Dusters or his 80 Dodge truck into the 11's this summer without spending thousands I'll eat my hat...
 
I've said it once and I'll say it a million times there's a big fat gap between making 15 and 16 second cars do 13 seconds and 13 second cars doing 11 seconds...

You better get that hat washed and some bbq sauce out. Hats arent very tasty! Haha

truck will run a small block this year, it's not going 11's. Maybe 13's. The Duster will go as fast as the amount of time I take to throw at it. I have a feeling I'll be pushed to dedicate a lot of hobby time at the truck. We'll see.

I'm just askin here so don't shoot the messenger....I know you've ruled out nitrous and I agree with that actually.......but have you thought of something like a turbo.....or a paxton?

yes, we almost pulled the trigger on a turbo kit for a small block, but decided to stick with a 440 build
 
Ya but it could have ran a 10 instead of a possible 12.
If you pay even 4k for a reasonable 318 Duster, you are not going 10's on 5k.... what would I do with my last 1000, buy headers and street exhaust, change the rear end and run 10's with the 318 2bbl?? I need to hear your plan... without NOS.. LOL :D

I already ran 10’s for under 5000.00.

1650 for a roller 1969 dart
.030 over 440 with trw pistons
200.00 Mopar mushroom tappet cam
350.00 used 850 carb and intake
200.00 (727)
350.00 used J convertor
200.00 fender well headers
150.00 used Isky rockers
10.40’s then 10.20’s after porting the 906 heads.


It was a little cheaper 40 years ago.
