Quote: Post them up, I'm looking to get 10.90's in a 3000 LBS car
Calm down small block guys we still like younz. Now back to the original poster. It doesn't take a lot of work to build a 440 to run 10.90's in a 3000# car. 30 years ago before we had all the go fast products that are available now. I used this combo to run 9.80 in a 74 duster that weighted 2900# with me in the seat. 2900# total weight .030 over 440 with TRW forged dome pistons Stock rods (direct conection bolts, shot peened, polished beems) stock forged crank 750 comp cams roller cam Weiand tunnelram with two 750 holley carbs (76 jets summer-78 jets fall) 4:56 rear gear 727 trans 14-31-15 goodyears superstock springs (001-002) I forgot to add: 906 heads and a J convertor. Pretty simple build but with the parts available now its crazy not to use a set of h-beem rods and an after market crank. Or you could go with a 4.150 crank and really blow those small blocks away.
or u could go with a 340 block 40 over,10.5 compression,4" crank,750 hp carb,255/255 @50 588 lift FLAT TAPPET bullit cam..in a 3200lb dart sport with 3500 stall conv,and do 10.80's and street drive to the beach
10.80's with a 416 CI. Heck the kids (whiskyrunner)duster weights 3300# went 10.83 two weeks ago. .030 over 360 with a stock crank and thru the exhaust. Same engine ran 10.20's last year at 2500# on 93 octane. With a 520 lift solid cam.
