Near stock 73 Swinger first time at the track
if thats your first time at the track, you didn't do half bad. I had a semi stock 318 in my dakota used to race back in the day.
setup was a stock long block 318, small crane extreme energy cam 268/454, street dominator intake, a too big of a 650 double pumper holley, and shorty headers.
Transmission was rebuilt, but stock with a stock converter, and a stock dog leg 8 1/4.
I coudn't floor it off the line because the carb would bog, however I would still 60ft 2.50's. It ran consistant low 15's, and would of been in the 14's if I fixed the off the line problem.
You could be able to do alot to that motor, keep it streetable and run 14's. 2 1/2 inch exhaust if you don't have it would help tremendously, and like they said, at least some bigger tires if not some et streets or drag radials. Just keep with it and let us know your results and mods!
