Let's Build a 416 with Cast Iron Heads and Manifolds
12's will be a cakewalk with 416 cubic inches, even with cast iron heads and exhaust manifolds. With a good converter and sticky tires, you'll be there without even trying.
The '72 Duster I had in highschool (circa 2000) went 12.70's with a 408 with stock 1.88 360 heads that had nothing done to them but a valve job. The Duster had open 3.23's with BFG Radial TA's (2.0+ sec. 60') and a stock converter. In fact, it also only had a 1850 600VS Holley up top. It was a horrible combination because I was a poor kid, but it sure was fun.
Good luck! I'm looking forward to this build.
