318 1/8 time improvement

Update! I ended up swapping in a used 5.9 magnum engine, with a reground camshaft and ported the heads in my backyard! I didn’t have so much time to tune it with carb and timing curve because they were closing the drag strip in a month. But regardless I was pretty happy, was hoping for high 7s but all good.

When I first started, running 9.5 @72mph 2.180 60ft 6.236 330

Now I ran a 8.3 @82Mph 1.876 60 Ft 5.259 330

Congratulations to you!! I enjoyed reading your thread from the beginning. You've embodied the spirit of hotrodding. It brought back many memories of when I started and went like 16.xx in my 69 Charger 383. I slowly got that motor/car to run 13.0's then swapped in a 440 and went 12.50's. Same kind of progression you're doing so keep at it and have fun!!
