Hey guys. Lofty ambitions but I'm thinking about this a lot lately. Have a new gig so financial situation is hopefully going to be stabilizing so I can think about a proper buildup again.
I'd like to use as much of what I have on hand as possible, but I'm not opposed to changing parts out to make a better combination. My goal is mid to high 10s with a rowdy car that I can also cruise around town in, drive to work on Fridays etc.
Here's what I currently have.
72 dart. It's pretty stock and unadulterated right now. I'm open to chassis changes as required. I obviously will need to make changes there. Open to suggestions.
I have a nicely machined 340 block, and a balanced Scat reciprocating assembly. 4" stroke. It's at a 4.080 bore. Align honed, cylinders honed with a deck plate, set up for studs etc. Works out to 418".
Forged icon flat top Pistons. It works out to almost 12:1 compression. I may need to run e85, will cross that bridge....
Edelbrock RPM heads. they're pretty much OOTB right now but I realize I will probably need work there. Open to your specific suggestions.
I have a m1 single plane. Pretty much untouched. I also have a RPM air gap, also stock.
I have a 727 with a cheetah reverse manual VB. I know it's not ideal but I'll probably stick with it and add a trans blanket for safety.
Currently have a 4200 stall converter from Hughes converters. I'm open to having this adjusted as required.
I currently have a hydraulic flat tappet voodoo cam 60405 but I'm assuming this isn't going to cut it. Solid roller required?
Hughes 1.6 rockers. Hedman 1-7/8 husler headers. 4.10 gears.
These are all things I currently have, open to suggestions on what needs to change. Just looking to get solidly into the 10s and have a crazy street car to cruise in sometimes.
Let me know what details you need.
