Hey Guys and Gals,
I am new to this site and I like what I have seen so far. I have a couple of questions for the group that maybe someone can help me with. I have a 74 swinger that I got for my wife. She wants me to set it up for bracket racing. I asked her how fast she wants to go and her response was, " faster than your Dad." : ) gotta love that response. He has a 74 Duster that turns mid 12's with a 360 4SPD. I picked up a 318/727 combo for it. What am I going to have to do to it to get those kind of times out of a 318?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

First thing i'd do is get a 360 or a 340 block,you'll already be starting out with 42 or 22 c.i. more,and if you choose to stroke it even more....i always wonder why people bother with little 318's when theres so many 360 blocks out there..
