Long time coming, but I'm building a little bracket car

Back in the 80's I had a 1963 Dart that I bought from a guy who was trying to build a race car (until being married got in his way) It was pretty much gutted except for 2 bucket seats out of a chevy luv truck.It had a .060 340 with 13.5 to one TRW forged pistons with a set of 273 closed chamber heads that had been ported all way into the water jackets and devconed back over so they wouldn't leak. It had a Edelbrock Torker and a Holley 750 Double pumper and a Crane Zip 518 cam which was a solid with 518 lift and 265 duration at 050,Fenderwell headers and a B&M manual valve bodied trans with a 10 inch B&M 3800 stall converter. That was rounded out with a 8 3/4 rear with 5.38 gears and 10.5 by 28 MRT slicks. I had a total of $700 in the car and it ran 7.70 in the eighth mile and was very consistent.
I always wondered what that car would have run with some real heads and a little more cam. That car was street raced and taken to the track quite a bit.
Back around 1992 I picked up a little 73 Duster with a warmed over 318 and a 4 speed with an 8/14 posi and 3.91 gear. We used to take that car to the track and just run the crap out of it. It wasn't fast(just 9.0 in the eighth but it was fun to bang gears) I only had about $1200 in that car.
I've literally owned hundreds of cars and we used to race lots of them at any given time but none of them were race only cars. I plan on building this one to race only so that opens the door to lightening it up with some fiberglass and removing a lot of the interior weight etc. So I guess no matter how fast(or for that matter,slow) it goes I probably wont be disappointed if I'm racing and not just watching.
