my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

From the 2nd post of this thread...

*This project assumes you already have dual exhaust. If not, that will be must before you start*. I'm doing it with manifolds, no headers.
Budget is to stay under 499.00 for all purchases including gaskets.
Goal here is simple. Most factory muscle cars in the late 60's to early 70's are well documented to have run between 14.20's - 15.60's. I want to run in the middle, high 14's. The target of my goal is to run with a factory '73 340 Duster. They have been well documented to run low 15's with auto and 3.23 gearing. With slicks they hit high 14's, and this is my target.

Here is one article (and there are many articles) on the '73 340 Duster performance. This one seems pretty consistant to whats out there. The target car of my goal was this car, now compare my E.T. slip and you can see my "almost" 94 mph and soon to be 14's E.T. is saying "hey, you don't have to break a bank and your teener can run with the muscle cars of yesteryear"!!!!!! Thus, the whole point of this thread. Sure hope this inspires, and helps many noobies to come!!!
