What should a guy expect out of a 360/380 crate engine in your standard race prepped A body?

3300# 68 Barracuda
Low gear 904
4400 Ultimate converter
4.30's in a 8 3/4
28x9 Radial slick

11.80? 12.20?

That can go 10.90 if prepped right. Sloane from SC builds those motors for CM class. Can go 10.70 if you push it.Those #'s for about the same weight +/- 100 lbs. You would need more gear too.

Ask Ron Silva..His old Valiant gets with it and has a crate 360

I think the Barracuda has a fair amount of removable ballast smile

I think his was the crate 402 deal. The stroker version basically.

Most of that ballast is in the drivers seat lol. I already emptied the weight box and its lightened up as the Stock Eliminator rules allow. I dont think this 360 will appreciate the 4.88 gears so we're swapping gears to something more bracket friendly at the moment.

Ok, add porting with the factory templates, then their 1.7 stud roller rockers, springs, kit. What ETs would that be.in a 3100 # Duster Stocker. This will be my test engine to sort out the car before the 340 goes in.

Looking at this>
http://www.hotrod.com/articles/mopp-0303-360-crate-engine-buildup/
these motors seem good for 400hp with a 750 carb with a tune which would put that 3300 Cuda to 11.77@114 with a 6200ish trap rpm with slip which is starting to get a bit strong for where that motor makes power to so either a 29" tyre or 4.10's to bring the trap rpm back down would help.

I would only be guessing at hp levels with T-porting, 1.7 rockers .532/545" lift but a guess would be in the 450hp range which in a 3100lb Duster would put you in at something like this with a 30" tyre? and 4.88's?>
60 Foot E.T. : 1.54
1/8 Mile E.T. : 6.99
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 97.20
1/4 Mile E.T. : 11.08
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 121
1/4 Mile Trap RPM : 6,613+...or 6,179+ with 4.56

Those numbers are encouraging to say the least.
I think I'll stay eight mile, with the 5.12s and 9x30s radials

Those are t sry similar numbers I had spoken about with the cars owners and there runs at the track. 1 fella reported low 11's in a gutted (race) Duster. He did say "Some port work done." on his ride. He didn't specify.

Just goes to show you don't need a boat load of power to run well and you don't need a ridiculous build and cam size to do it. The create is actually a mild motor IMO.

Well I'll share some results since we finally got it out this weekend.

68 Cuda 3140# with driver
4.56 gears
30x9 radial
2.45 low 904
4400 ultimate converter

11.28@116 (in full disclosure this is based on run where the driver lifted at 1000' so we're estimating based on other runs)

We're having an issues with it breaking up down track and we're kinda thinking the valve springs are suspect. This thing has some sort of a camshaft in it so it likely needs added pressure. Gonna check those and probably upgrade and give it another try in a few weeks.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

The Sloane #s come as the result of a lot of R&D.Trick beehives I do believe. Change the springs to a double. Sloane motors are well over 7200 at the traps. No need to go there. That's a 11.20-11.50 combo depending on the weather. That's very respectable,dependable and repeatable.

Yep, with a cam change. No clue what the new cam specs are, it was done by the previous owner who has passed away.

This is just a temporary engine until the stock legal engine is done. We will be changing springs though.
