engine combination

That is accurate. I spoke with a good number of racers running the 360/380 create engine. In an A body race car they were running low 12's to high 11's. No to the peoples here, re-read that and notice the key word, "Race Car." In other words, gutted, high gears and stall with slicks and skinnies.

The OP has a lot of good goodies on the car. But your weight, gear and tire selection is a hinderance. Swapping to an Edelbrock head is a movein the right direction and a benefit if you can get that compression ratio up. And yes to the 1.6 rockers. TAKE advantage of that heads flow!!!

Do remember that this create engine is not a race engine. The cam is a nice street grind that should beable to perform well. Not great

I'm at sea level. How about yourself?

Was it the 65 Valiant? The one with 3.55's and no mention of a converter and a 8-9" tire from what I reacall. It was over 3300# This one?



Had street cars with less that would put a whopping on it...

IIRC, Ron Silva's valiant ran 11.70's with a 360/380 engine.
