quick 318?

Yes, it can live. I know a guy at our local drag strip that has been drag racing a Dodge Truck in stock eliminator (and bracket racing) for over 20 years. He ran 318's for years. He ran a 318 long block for 4 years turning 7200 rpm every weekend with his 4000 lbs truck with 513 gears and about 5500 stall converter. Never broke. He is still there faithfully whenever I go to the strip. By the way, in the mid nineties he held the record for his class for 4 yrs straight with his 318.

Don't let the name "stock" fool you....most of those stock eliminator cars have more $$$$ in there motor than I have in my entire car. One of my friends has a stock eliminator car (a Demon with a 340), runs almost the exact same ET has my car.....but it is FAR from cheap.

If you want your car to live you will need good parts, good machine work, and a competent builder....remove any piece from that equation and you have a pile of broken parts....JMO. Anything can go fast if you have the knowledge, time, money, and effort.
