Man. Talk about opening up a can of worms...
I may be on the opposite end of the spectrum (not commenting on my mental state here), but a few years ago I would’ve said put a mildly modded low deck big block in a 2nd gen Barracuda notch with a 727, a GearVendors OD and a 3.91 out back, but with the cost of gas and everything else going up and no end in sight, I think now I’d go with a 360 magnum built for torque with a 5, 4 or even 3 speed trans and set up the rear end accordingly. I’d use any kind of tricks I could to lighten up the car, keep the cr moderate so as to use regular pump gas and you’d have a beautiful, quick street car that wouldn’t embarrass itself at the strip.
