it seen hard when your car weights 3400lbs. motor makes about 600hp. i'm at 10.55 with a 1.50 60. if I went 2 points higher on comp,add a dom and improved on my 60 still don't think i'd get there. the cars too heavy and a think it needs bb torque to get there. i'm ready to move on. i'v got this season and next with the 408,then its over with the small block.
My duster weighed 3350 with my 300 pound butt in it, had stock suspension, and a 727 and went 9.80's...its easy, and i am far from smart...lol

ok, what was your combo,comp,cam,etc. if ya don't mind me askin? i'v been workin on this 408 for 8 yrs now and come home from the track humbled everytime. i'v invested 10-$12,000 into this 408. cant do it any more. if I build a bigger pump it will be alittle easier.
sent ya a pm... 422 w5 roller, 13 to 1 compression, cam was 273@ 50 and not agressive lobes, drove it around quite a bit victor w2 intake dominator tt1 headers and mufflers stock suspension with ce 3 way shocks and dot tires, and s/s springs, not minitubbed 727 3350 race weight..think it would have went 9.70 with a 904

Another option is simple 451, I used a stock forged crank, stage vi heads, mopar 590 cam and 13:1, to go 9.83 at 3300 lbs in a duster.
'75 Plymouth Duster Phase I 451 906/590/2-660 10.75/126 Phase II 451 Stage VI/590/1050 9.82/135 Phase III 383 906/Victor-Pump gas 11.30/119

Having had a car with a low buck RB, and another with a W5 416, (both high 9sec combo's) starting from ground zero you will have a cheaper less stressed combo from the big block. That's a no brainer.... but since you already have the 408 (not sure of the combo) you might be ahead of the game to stick to it and make some improvements. Going big block will also end up with a trans change, and more than likely a new torque converter purchase which will factor into the cost of the build.
Our big block is gone... and we're sticking with the small block. Not sure why....but we prefer it that way
He has Indy heads a roller and good trans and convertor. I think with a few tweaks he can get where he want to.
