A/SM. Ran 10.30’s at 133+. Never could hook it up, but it ran out the back door like a freight train turning it 8500. Never broke anything and it was raced a lot.
This same package we went to a tunnel ram with 2 dominators, ported the heads - I think they flowed 350-370 back then, at 3400 #’s in B/MP went 9.70’s.

Current technology, light Diamond pistons, light rods, better valve gear, better intake, scrapper, who knows what that is worth.


Good info, thanks
