A great question for another thread considering this is a thread on how people do it and how well they do it with unported heads and not an actual tech discussion.
Ill PM you my thoughts.

I love it.
3.31 stroke, i do not own any stroker cranks. that time slip is from the 318Stroker. Your killing me, your killing me. lol
sorry its taken so long to reply. busy,busy,busy. so I use sealed power rings,cometic head gaskets. P255-60-R15 mickey's et street radial(worn out of course!!)
I have always run small blocks. all steal car(except hood) and I hate doing body work. regardless of make,nose heavy cars don't do it for me. I try to achieve 50/50 weight balance and gutting a street car for bb, turns it into a rattling soda can. hence no body work(fender,doors,etc.) you can get a b motor close to same weight but lifting hood to show little magnum is the best. first drag pak challengers came magnums.
its not about total weight so much as is where's the weight. still lite is right!!
I talk to my neighbor about cars and bs all the time.maybe its my compulsion but I look at racing strictly from a mechanical point of view. certain amount of power to move a certain amount of weight a certain distance of measured time. of course its also based on what you can afford.!!
my setup is far from perfect. last years set up used no rocker arm girdle for example. I know I had stuff moving around.
as far as parts go with old combo nothing crazy. its just an air pump(engine)stock block obviously for magnum. factory forged rods,cast crank(I know,i know). stock parts can mean a lot of things. heads,cam,intake,exhaust,carb,cranking compression,little n20,etc are the money shot. short block is along for the fun ride!
my goal is a 9 sec magnum powered street driven duster,(4/10th's away with old setup) i'm going back to the garage to make it happen(pics to follow)
thanks,motorcity magnum still looking for my old cam card!! seriously
quick update on 5.9l magnum. still stock bore/stroke. stroker build is temporarily on hold.thanks! how do I do the link? I'm old dude, still a learnin!!
since I'm here, this is what I was running. all facts and no b.s.
1974 duster
never have weighed,maybe tad over 3,000?
started as 380hp 360 magnum.
put on edelbrock heads right out of box. no work!
single plane intake(hard to get) with reworked 750 hp holly proform body,etc,etc
comp cam roller to my spec.. I know everyone wants specs!!!!
nx single plate with 200+ shot at the hit.
foot brake with turbo action convertor. been running for years, 2500-3000 stahl
904 with work.
3.55 with 8 3/4 moser stuff
cal tracs and shocks
qa1 front except k frame
10 to 1 but cranking compression makes power!!!!
junk headers with dynomax bullets
10:50's all day in the summer heat. has run high 10:30's on one occasion in cold but I couldn't repeat rest of season-----fluke deal!!??
mid to high 120's and regular great 60 foot times if it holds the tire! yes I do drive the @#$% out of it. give all my neighbors rides when its time for gas!!View attachment 1715422068
building a nasty, as one can get with a magnum, deal. hope it stays together
So WTH is a 20-811-9 and did you run it yet?
I would love to see the improvement made. I don’t really care for the update without results. It sounds great, no results. Boooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
Do you have your own build thread by chance???
Very nicetook a stock 2006 5.7 hemi added a used hughes 480 lift camshaft and lifters bolted on a modman intake and an enderle injector and pump.
Transmission 727 with a few upgrades (no trans brake) that my mechanic built, bought a used chinese 4500 stall converter
Car is a 2950lb 67 Barracuda with 12pt cage, ladderbars and alterkation front end. Willwood brakes. 8 3/4 with 4.56 gears and 13x30.5x15 MT slicks
Ran a 10.90 first run then a 10.71 two runs later at 6700rpm! motor really spins fast!
Decided to slow it down to 11.35 and 6000 rpm so it would not blow up.
Since then totally rebuild motor with Hughes stroker kit and a used blower running 10% overdrive. Had new seats installed in the head rest is still stock. Had Dave at Hughes cut me a custom cam (specs I will look up and post soon) Bought a new torque converter, 5500 stall but it is slipping real bad.
First three runs high 9's low 10's but redline at 7500 bumped up rev limit to 7800 still no better.
bought a new set of slicks 12x33x15 and installed 4.10's ran 9.32 @ 122 mph had to let off at just over half track due to rev limiter again. Torque converter is going back for a re cut . Hope to see 8.80 in the future. Oh ya I leave off idle and lift the tires for about 60-80ft.
Here is the info on my new cam
SER3842MHLN-114+4, which would be 238* intake duration @0.50 (.360 lobe) and 242* exhaust duration @ 0.50 (.367 lobe) It would have a 114* lobe seperation angle and have 4* advance ground it.
this is from an email from Tim from Hughes
