What is the intended use?
100% race car?
Street/strip?
With either, I'd be looking at as a foundation of:
512" kit - Contact the vendors on here Trick Flow heads/intake Custom solid FLAT TAPPET cam 2" primary headers This is the help I’m looking for. It will probably be more street than strip but it will be run at the track.

Low 10’s, even in the southern heat and humidity isn’t all that tall of an order in a Cuda....... the hard part is reaching that goal with something that isn’t a bracket race car with tags on it.
As long as you’re willing to live with the drivability that goes with steep gears, a loose converter, and cam maintenance....... and probably enough compression to need to at least mix the gas.
For something more streetable........ back it down into the high tens...... put a small shot on it to get the rest of the way.
I’d be shooting for at least 750 std corrected hp if the N/A target is low tens being raced in the south central region. You’re going to lose 75-100hp as it sits in the car in typical weather down there.
511, TF270’s, 11.5cr, 400-3/4500 carb, 2” headers, roller cam, 1.6 rockers. 45-4900 9.5” converter, 4.10’s

Is the car set up to go low 10's? If so, what is the weight, tire size and gear ratio in the car. If all of those things are ready to go then building the engine and trans is the easy part. A 700+ hp big block is fairly simple to screw together from parts you can buy over the counter. 4.25 stroke rotating assembly and a set of Trick Flow heads will get you there. Compression depends on what you want to run for fuel. If this is street driven or EFI then you'll want to stay with an unleaded fuel. If it is race only then go for it. Same thing on the exhaust side. Race only allows you to use open exhaust while a street car requires a lot of extra work (and weight) for a full exhaust system. Cooling system is the same way and so are the brakes. Race car stuff can be simple and lightweight, street stuff has to be a lot more robust. Thank you ! See above comments to fast . I haven’t weighed the car yet and since I don’t have any go fast parts yet I will buy the converter and gear to go with it.

Low tens requires a fairly stiff gear, converter, and cam. Not very street friendly. At 3650 lbs you need close to 700 hp corrected. It can be driven on the street but will just blow the tires off. 11.0 combo is probably a better street deal. Doug We went 10.73 the other week with 3.91 gears and mufflers and a .560 lift cam and IRON heads and 10.7:1.....Strokers don't seem to care much...Not sure what it weighs, probably 3500 with me in it. Wait till we get the new Indy fully ported 325's we just scored put on it! I prefer the 440Source 512 kits with the girdle and Indy heads. I know nothing about the Trick flows, but the Indy heads from the EZ1 on up to the 440-1's will hit 10's no problem. The more you spend here, the faster it goes...If I had it to do over on my race car, I would have probably gone to the B1 heads had I known how well those flowed. They seem to be one of the best "bracket" car heads out there and a step up from the Indy 440-1's. Intake, again we like an Indy 4150 single plane for street, and same thing in 4500 for race. Carbs, we like the cheap out of the box Proform 1050 or go all out and get a Thumper carb...

Can't tell you how to go about it, but my DD is a 4-speed OD automatic (Lexus A340E), and I don't know how I ever got along without it. My SLR (1st gear X axle ratio) is 10.6:1, equal to a 727 with 4:31:1 axle. With a 3.77 axle & 26.6" tire the engine turns 30 mph per 1,000 rpm - 75 mph is 2,530 rpm.

I don’t have a set amount I’ll spend all at once. I’ll do this like I have done all my projects - just buy things when I can. Let me give you some advice on parts and purchasing them, buy the good ones once, not cheap ones and then learn later you have to replace them later to reach your goals That’s the plan. I have an engine in the car now so I’ll be able to enjoy it some while I’m Collecting parts.

I'm assuming 10teens as low 10's. Doug

Build a mild low 11's car with mild rear gear and converter and use spray to get into the 10's.
We really enjoy driving our '63 with 2800 stall and 3.54 gears.
'63 Dodge 330 11.19 @ 121 mph Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs. 10.01 @ 133mph with a 250 shot of nitrous an a splash of race gas. 1.36 60 ft. 3,700 lbs.

Go lightweight and you will see the light at the end of the quarter tunnel flash 10's. I agree... light is right.. also easier on parts plus you dont need to make the big HP
