I gots a 74 cuda and im in the same boat as alot of people although i do have a few good parts on my engine, it's still pretty basic combo. I ran out of money so i have just kept it the way it is for now. It has stock susp with 8 3/4 and 3.91 gears. A stock block/stroke 440 with trw pistons. A Hughes solid 575lift cam with Eddy Victor INT. topped by a 850 demon. Heads are Indy Ez'z stock port kind. No porting on the int nor heads. 275/60 M/T street radials. Trans is 727 with a cheap TCI 3500 stall. I normally run 11.40's but my best so far is 11.37 at 119mph. Want a better stall and do some porting. Prob got 11.10's in it. My goal is to get into 10's one day when i get money.
