New Build Advice Needed

I didn't want to sound too negative, because there's always that one or two that will argue you into oblivion they did it and got 36MPG doin it.


All good. I know I’m a dumb arse for even going down this road! Why keep it simple? Make it as hard as it possibly can be so I feel like I did something. BUT my son wants a streetable car so I’m trying to find a way to do it. That 250 hp Camry is quicker than snot and weighs a thousand pounds more. Which brings us to the Glidden arrow….

I grew up just a few miles from Bob Gliddens shop and know the Arrow/Colt platform well. His son Billy was a mechanical genius. A “theory” before engineering meant anything. I’m open for all ideas and setbacks.
I get 300 is an outer realm but damn I’ve seen good machine work and planning the whole combination beat the hell out of a bunch of bolt on go fast parts.

My old stock eliminator car would run low 11s with a cast iron intake and factory rockers. It’s all in the machine work to me.
