@aaronk785 I think your in the area right good.
The ability to run (faster even) in the 12:00 index is a good bracket racing engine not terribly taxing parts and shows really well on the street.
For my next street stripper I was thinking of a A-500 trans just so I can get a good cruise RPM in. Sometimes the distance is a bit far to live with a 4.30+ ratio. I’d like to keep up with moderate moving traffic at least.
My 408 made 539 hp and 502 tq. R3 block, 9.8 comp.,Indy 360-1 heads, Indy intake, 750 hp carb, 600 lift mech. cam, 904 , 4900 stall converter, 4.30 gears went 10.70s in my 3150 lb. Dart... motor might be for sale soon.
