My plans are to build a 11.5-12.5 to 1 440 or 451 with the mopar 590 cam or similar and some edelbrock or source heads that ill eventually have ported. victor intake and 950 carb. 4k ish stall and 4.10 rear in a 3200 pound duster.
How fast you guys running with similar combos? Any recommendations appreciated.

MY combo;
Engine:
440 +.030, Ross pistons 13.5:1, H-beam rods, stock crank, stock block decked, unported 440 Source Stealth heads, Comp 925 springs, 10* locks & retainers, MP .590 solid cam, 2" Hooker Super Comp headers, Weiand Team G intake, 1050 dominator #9688.
Car:
'72 Barracuda, 3200 lbs w/ driver, Dana w/4.56, strange spool & axles, SS leafs, 11.5/29.5 MT, 727 trans w/ TA rmvb, TA 17509 "J" converter.
Last week at Clay City, Ky Mopar show 60' 1.410, 6.53/103.6 1/8 mile, 10.38/127.1 1/4 mile.
I am running it somewhat "detuned" because I feel that I'm very close to out running the suspension.

That seems pretty impressive!

Interesting! I'd like to see some that are street-able as well as quick. I'd like to do .590 11.1 Eddy headed.... either 440 or 493. Can't decide what route to go.

I ran a 1.55 60' 7.13 @ 100 last night in my car. It is a 451 10.8 cr, ported e-brocks, street dominater intake, HP1000 carb (both carb and intake are brand new and untouched) and a small roller 258@.50 & 631 with pump gas @ 3800lbs.

67 barracuda, 440 short block out of an old motor home, otb e-brocks, purp shaft 484, M1 with a pro systems 850 car went 11.49....

My old motor was 8.6-1 CR and had OOTB Eddy heads and a Comp 555 solid cam.

Best on that motor was a 10.96.

Was typically in the 11.0 range though

I've got a 542ci.Stock .055 over block,used 4.5 stroke crank,eagle rods,venolia pistons,509 hyd cam,915 iron heads,performer rpm intake and a 950hp carb and it's 9.5:1 comp.it's best pass is 10.92@123 in a 70 plymouth GTX

Really streetable.real budget..3760 lbs.9;1 comp,stock 906 iron heads,RPM Eddy intake w/750 Holly,Bullit hyd roller cam,530 in & 530 ex lift.standard bore 440,stock crank..12.5 @107 mph..with that motor.

.030" over 440. Victor intake with 1050AN Quickfuel. Scott Brown solid cam. Eddy heads, CPPA headers. Stock A833 4 speed. Centerforce DF clutch. Home made subframe connectors. SS springs, Dana with 4.56's. Mostly street driven. Full interior. Weighs in at 3926# with me in it.

A real low budget 440...all factory parts except for pistons, valvetrain and accessories.

1975 cast crank 440 w/ stock rods, .030 Ross flat tops with an actual 10.3:1 cr using 1039 Fel-Pro gasket, Ultradyne .588 solid flat tappet cam, ported 906 heads, M-1 intake, AED 850 Holley, Hooker Comp headers, 9.5" PTC converter, 4.10 Dana 60 all in a '70 Barracuda street car. 3" TTI X-pipe exhaust all the way back to the factory style tips.

I have yet to reach the car's full potential due to suspension and carb tuning, but it has run 11.80-11.82 @ 116mph in full street trim on a 90+ degree day with crappy air. (All 4 passes that day were in that range.)

I know the car has 11.60's in it when everything is optimized and decent weather, but still need that timeslip to prove it. For giggles, I entered the 11.80 timeslip information on this DA calculator and it came back with an 11.57 ET. http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-altitude-calculator.php Like I said above though...I want that timeslip to prove it.

The car is extremely streetable overall. We drive it all over town without issue.

.040 over 440, stock crank, Crower rods (got them for a song a few years back, Probe pistons. 10.5 to 1 comp, runs fine on pump 91. Comp 259/259 .550, ported 452s dont have flow numbers, but probably around 260 @.600, M1, 950HP, 2inch Hookers

Best ET is in my sig.

Nothing special, but the combo seems to work in my fat car.......

I would just ask; Given "X"($) for a budget and "Y"(required maintenance/type of gas/expected longitivy/etc.) for your goals...How much power could you make? For example, I believe Dartin' did pretty well building an entire quality car on a shoestring budget. It helps a ton doing 90% of the work and also having friends in low places with good resources.

I ran 12.37 at 108.. cast crank .030 over,9 to 1, 440, 484 cam, home ported 906 heads, crap headers, 750 holley model 3310, torker , 3.91, gears,9.5" dynamic 3800 stall cant remember the flash speed. 10.5x28 slicks, rt springs.
all steel charger with stock interior.

Here's another scenario...

Back in the early '90s we threw a '74 cast crank 440 into our 3775lb '64 Savoy to go have some fun.

It was literally a $200 junkyard motor and trans. We left the stock pistons, rods, crank, bearings...everything. We put in a used .509 cam and lifters, Team G single plane intake, 750 Holley, TCI 10" converter, and 4.56 gears. The car ran 12.80's like clockwork. We then freshened the 452 heads and put on a Max Wedge intake w/ two 600 Carters. It ended up running 12.40's @ 108 mph. The engine would just not give up...it still ran when we pulled it in the late '90s for the 'good' engine.

The short block is actually still under the bench in my parents garage. We all joked that it did not have enough power to blow itself up.

Oh yeah...the compression worked out to be 7.8:1 in the good cylinders.

.030 over 440, trw pistons, ported 906 heads, 750 roller cam, (2) 750 holleys on a weiand tunnel ram, 727 trans with old J convertor, 14-31-15 goodyear slicks and a 4:56 gear, 2800# duster. Best ET. 9.82.

My old 73 Duster specs......(wish I could find this car )

446
Stock crank and rods
2295 TRW's (roughly .028 ith)
906's (2.08/1.81) shaved .050
Crane 268/278 - .580/.600
Team G
9375 Domi

went a best of 10.41 @ 126 with a 1.400 best 60'

75 440 .030 over 9-1 keith blacks stock crank and rods, 509 cam stock 906's tunnel ram and two 600 holleys 727 w 3600 converter

3:23 gears in all stock 70 valiant 4 door
11.60's factory fuel line nothing fancy

I had a 440 w/ Ross flattops, 10:1 w/ stock 906 heads (just a 3 angle valve job). Stock forged crank and 6 pack rods.
509/292 purpleshaft cam, stock pushrods and rockers.
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, 830 Holley double pumper
1 7/8" headers, 3" exhaust and flowmasters
10" TCI streetfighter converter, 3.91 gears
On pump gas and at 3700# it ran 11.80s at 111 mph.

I swapped heads on this motor to mildly ported and shaved 915's (12:1 compression now) and went 11.40s at 117 mph.
It went 10.60s on a little nitrous, letting off at 1000' b/c it was out of gear.
