Bracket engine, what would you build and why?

It was a slug at 60'. With 2500 leave and a 5100 converter flash, it would only go low 1.40's. On the positive side, thats why it was so consistent, it always hooked. Anywhere.

Right at 7000 in the lights, about 7200 in really good air.

You mentioned the alternator in your list of removable weight items. Don't do that! Nothing better than 3 days of racing and never needing a battery charger! It's 5 lbs. costs no HP and it's one less distraction on race day.

Thanks for the reply!
7000 rpm would scare me with a stock block 440, but hey you made it work!

I wouldn't think of removing the alternator. I was just trying to show mopar66 what is on the car that some would say isn't necessary. I can sit at the line for a looong time with the fan and water pump running, engine temp. doesn't go up and the volt gauge doesn't go down.
