10s for 10k can i do it?
Let me say this, I spent well over $30K on my Duster to get in into the mid 10's but that includes 3 sets of heads plus porting, 6 camshafts, 3 torque converters and 5 sets of gears. Plus three attempts with the 4 speed before the 904 went in it. I seriously think you can duplicate my combo for $10K if you are capable of doing your own welding, cutting, fabricating and most of the machine work. PM me if you are interested.
Keep in mind I did this with a 340 and later with a 360 in an all steel Duster with only fiberglass bumpers and a hood. The car still had the stock fuel tank and spare tire in it. The interior was still intact and the windows were still all glass and functional. It even had a stock flat hood on it, no scoop or fresh air with a 4" K&N air filter on it.
