How would you build a low 10’s street car
?
What you taking about willis
Edit, slow but got it!...............
Sorry I meant This for the OP but This is the most interesting 9 page thread I've read. I too was on the path of trying to build a street/strip in the 10s car. I actually started a few years ago wanting to just wanting to do a 383bb 4 speed in my 1999 dakota r/t, seen a couple YouTube videos of a fairly racey 440 & he was running 12s, so scrapped that idea, found the last rust free $400.00 unmolested 1970 dart /6 car on planet earth...maybe in the galaxy. I then figured I'd do a budget 451 factory 440 crank cut down with "stealth" heads and a isky solid flat tappet. Then I bought a molnar 3.915 stroke crank some 6.70 rods that were cheap & had the 1.320 pistons that were for the 451 still for a street car then on FABO I started getting advice from a good mopar man with a 10 second small block 68 dart gts (430 cubes.)
Well let's just say I've bought some more stuff since now I'm aiming for a 10.0 car
Narrowed Dana 60 4.88 gears, going solid roller, external oiling system, trickflow heads, rockers, molnar power adder rods.
Well I have the parts for 2 nice engines, neither are done, but I can say the 471 should be around 680-700 up & will cost just under $14,000, I'm handy & ambitious have alot of tools & skills for the rest but also have a couple good people who are willing to help on the stuff I haven't done..like back half a car or have experience with a car like this.
Moral of the story is have an idea of what you want, find a trustworthy proven dude who does what they say & come up with a plan. For me it would've saved me thousands & hundreds of hours online finding info, which isn't bad for me..but my wife ain't to pleased lol. I told her when i met her I had chromes disease, she thought i said chrones....No, not chrones, CHROMES! I'm addicted to cars woman.
