318 build. what would you do?

The Demon has a 68 318 completely rebuilt using stock bore moly rings.
Modifications from stock:
forged crank, damper, & pulley from 64 318 (used)
Edelbrock 2176 intake
Carter AFB 625 cfm, manual choke
14" K&N air filter.
'302 heads (used), hand lapped valves, new seals, some light grinding to clear up air flow
Crane cam and lifters: Advertised Duration 276/ 286, Lift .441/ .441
Cloyes double roller timing chain
90º oil filter adapter (used)
Mopar windage tray (used)

I also have a pair of used Dakota 318 exhaust manifolds. Haven't decided to use both or just passenger side. All of the parts are new purchases except as noted. The large used parts came from salvage yards, the windage tray from a swap meet.

I figure I have about $1500 in this engine, less any value for my time assigned to it. It's a good driver, but I doubt it will turn the numbers you are looking for regardless of the rear gear. That's my 2¢ worth.
