How would you build a low 10’s street car

I’ve got a 68 340 barracuda with a 4 speed and 3.55 rear gear it’s got a cam just a touch above stock and x heads, also got an LD340 intake with carter 1406 afb carb basically a stock rig but also have the hi-po exhaust manifolds, I want to get this car into the 10’s and still be streetable, how would you guys go about this? I eventually may want to turn the car into a daily so if mpgs can be kept in mind with the aforementioned goal that would be a plus. I was thinking something along the line of turbos, overdrive and 2.91’s but I’m just spitballing and have no real knowledge of mechanics behind me

I am sorry I just recently started posting here on FABO and I didn't read this whole thread.

Gen III Hemi would absolutely be my choice. If you aren't too deep in small block parts already its where you need to go IMO. My small block 68 Barracuda has been 10.54 on 91 octane gas @3550lbs with driver. Its a 416" W2 headed R1 block with a healthy solid roller and an EFI Tunnel ram. The car does drive really good on the street but its got a really big cam for a street car. A similar CID gen III hemi would have a tiny camshaft by comparison and a stock hydraulic valve train that you wouldn't have to sweat. My Dad and I and pretty entrenched in small block parts but I always have my eye on a Gen III Swap lol.
