Crazy idea for 318

To help settle the Stroker/non-Stroker argument; IF I can do this build and beat him without doing a stroker that is what I want to do. IF not then I will do the stroker. I talked with him and picked his brain without getting to specific tonight so he has no clue what my ideas/intentions are. He has a stroked 360 to make the 408. 442 HP with 510 Torque at the rear wheels. It was a crate motor so he has all the specs but I couldn't say tell them all to me so that I can out do you. He will be weighing his car this Friday but I am positive that it weighs more than my Dart. Since he still has front and rear glass. He does have a fiberglass hood however but that won't make up the difference. He has OEM wiring in it with steel fuel and trans cooler lines too. He also has a full size 8-3/4 with the springs outside the frame. Mine is shortened and moved under the frame. So chassis wise I should be less weight then he is. I also toyed with doing a tube k-member instead of the old steel one. I know that would help weight wise also. Other than that I am pretty much done with the diet for mine other than glass hood and deck lid. So I gotta pick it up under the hood. OH, he is running a 904 and I have a 727 too.
