That sounds a lot like my junk except for the heads and converter. Ran a best of 14.40s with that motor and 3.91's and a short tire. Do the new RHS heads flow about the same as the eddy's? I know i'm going to want to build a better short block at some point just for peace of mind but throwing a set of closed chamber heads on it would be cheaper.

Mike, you're an engineer right? I took thermodynamics last semester and that really opened my eyes to how compression affects performance. That's a big part of the reason for this build.

As far as the stroker, this is just my street car that I've had since I was 15. I just want to get to the point of enjoying the car again. And after selling the Fury to BobK i kinda miss a fast street car. If I want to go faster I have the Polara in my sig. i'll admit my knowledge of big blocks far outstrips my knowledge of small blocks but right now keeping the sb makes sense.
