Smallblocks are cool.....BUT

If you want to go fast on pump gas you already put limitations on yourself....

Go with the biggest engine you can so that leaves BIG BLOCK.

I cant see how a 540 or bigger with 440-1 or edelbrocks cant go mid 9's

Two things to go fast easily....
1 lightweight
2 BIG inches...No replacement for displacement




Not sure if you will say but what does your car run off of NOS???




current engine in the car now, went 9.69 with 28* timing at 3550lbs
Im sure with moire timing and a little looser converter and more gear, it would be mid nine sec car. BUT it does not run on pump gas.




STILL impressive!!!!!!!

dont forget, the guy on here (but not on the board anymore) Ron Silva? with the silver valiant. Ryan J built him a 500" small block. htere are some vids on youtube maybe of that car, Im pretty sure 9.60's BUT like i say 500" smallblock is pretty exotic stuff $$$ 540 shortdeck (stockblock 400) with decent 440-1's is pretty run of the mill, Whatever you go with like i said...LIGHTER is always BETTER. I got my car down from 3500 to 3300 and i can tell you it runs so much better!!!

Well you left out the most important part....

does it run MID NINES on pump gas???

Mike is asking what would be easier? to go mid nine with on pump gas..
If his car is 2940 with a smallblock hes already there, just needs some BIG cubes or good parts to go that fast on pump gas.

i re read yout first post,,,,,,I see you want to stay smallblock,

I guess i should go back, delete all my big block advice....LOL

OK for a small block to go that fast on pumpgas, id say you need some good heads, some decent big cubes and......Follow that 500" build in Ron Silvas Valiant. THat was a bad a$$ pumpgas motor that ran for sure

if you want to drive it anywhere then gear/tire size and converter needs to be part of your quest for mid 9s because there is no way I would have been able to deal with my car with anything more than a 3.55 gear during drag week

The problem with my SB now is that it has 12:1 comp and I dont think I can run pump gas...I may be able too but not sure if it will be good for it. I was trying to buy my dads old duster back because it was already to go...It runs mid 9's but not sure if on pump gas though.

Just my opinion, and i dont want ot get into that SB - BB debate...
BUT there is no replacement for displacement...bigger is always better
Especially if you limiting yourself to pump gas. I know right now someone selling a 540. KB block. B1 originals Two foggers, that is built for pump gas. Went 9.0's on motor...he wants 15k for it
Now thats a GREAT deal, buy that and sell the intake or the kits and put that in your car !

Running water and meth injection should help you run pump gas.

Find yourself a siamese R3 block,Mancini is selling them for under $2600. On another post about race blocks somebody found them going for under $2400. A Rod Bloomer 4.25 crank kit. A set of Indy 360-2 230 cc or 360-1 245 cc heads,Indy intake. A 4.200 bore or larger will put it over 470 CI. With a flat top piston and 65cc chamber you will be at 11.00 to 11.5 CR. With the right cam and .040 or lower quench will run on pump and go mid 9s at your weight with ease. You could probably go cheaper if you can locate a 59* siamese block and use the new Airwolf heads. Remember you will also save the expense of a new tranny if you stay smallblock. I would think you could build an engine like this for $15k or less if you shop around for the right deals and assemble it yourself.
