Exactly, I don't have $35k to spend though. One of the things I've learned from racing is that having a car that is slower, makes you a better driver. I like the challenge. I think I mentioned that the track is a fifth mile. We have 410's come once a year, and quite a few guys will race with their 360's and even finish in the top 5, and win heat races. The average race night is just 360's. I know guys who race the sprints and they are rarely on the throttle, and only give it full throttle occasionally just before entering the turn. I don't mind if my car isn't equal to theirs. I love racing and I can always upgrade my equipment at a later time. I'm just looking to get back on the track and to compete. There's no doubt that a stock 318 crank, rods, and block with some special work done to them can withstand some serious punishment. I mentioned a few of the ways that I would improve the stock stuff significantly. This puppy isn't going to make 700hp on the first day out, my goal is around 500-600 hp, and I know that is definitely do-able. I never said anything about cylinder heads in my post above, I know I made another post asking for porting templates but that's not for this project; thats for fun, to increase my knowledge of what makes a cylinder head flow well. I like getting hands on. I'm completely aware that the valvetrain is going to be expensive, and yes some w2s that are ported would be good. But what would be a better investment would be to get some Edelbrock Super Victor heads CNC Ported by Hughes or some Brodix B1-BAs. I know I can make it work. It's not gonna be easy, but if I wanted life to be easy I wouldn't have bought a Mopar to begin with, I would have gotten a Chevy.
