What's it gonna take?

My build 11.78 @118mph

quoted from another thread.

My car is full stock body (no mini tubs or mods) with full stock interior.

Ok these are some of the specs on my engine.

Its a standard bore 340. (My original engine)

Cam: Crower Solid Street Roller. #3146 (This is the old 3164 grind from 1988 the new grind with the same # has less lift and duration.)

RPM power range 3200-7200 (redline 7800+)

Grind Lobe Center: 290R/112 degrees
Advertised Duration: intake-290, exhaust-294
Duration at .050": intake-251, exhaust-256

Holley 800DP

Victor 340 intake.

Heads: professionally ported and flowed original X heads.

Harland Sharp rockers

Hooker Super Comps into 3" mandrel bent exhaust

Extensively reworked/polished stock rods.

Balanced…. And so on…

Basically a precision, high compression (about 12 to 1) and high RPM build. Regularly saw 8000rpm at the track.


And so on, but that is the basic engine stuff.


And then…… We get into all the other crap that you need…. custom built clutch, sub frame connectors, scatter shield, battery relocation, dana 60, electric water pump, electric fans, drag shocks, alignment for track use, SS springs…..
