I used to run a rear engine dragster with a stock 360 short block with W5 heads on Methonol it ran 8.50 at 150 + at about 4500DA. I still have the engine and the injection. Max Weg

Put in the proper ring gap. run a solid or roller cam. it will make plenty of power and the rail will fly. 365" Iron J heads,,3480lbs best 1.39 60ft on SS springs.10.54,124 mph ...6.67 1/8th et.average 60fts 1.46 w/ small cam &.063 no2 pill tagged & insured [image][/image]
