10 sec. 318?

I think you can do it if you really do your homework, but i'd keep it as an 1/8 miler, I'm sure it wouldn't be too happy on the street, it would be cool having a solid 7.00 318 A body stick car, i'll bet you can do up the whole car for around 10K, remember, a 318 is not a torque monster, so it won't tear up **** like the larger engines, but can still be made to run fast, you can set up the cars chassis, SFCs, 8 point cage, SS springs, good shocks, hell, you wouldn't really need to minny tub it, it'll hook on smaller DRs or ET streets, then get a good clutch assembly with flywheel, 4.88 or 5.13 gears, work on getting the car as light as possible (on the cheap), then build a solid 13.1 318 roller, good heads, huge cam, & shift at 8000 rpm, i'll bet it'll run 7.0s if you can shift, maybe better, THAT would be cool, set the goal for a race weight of say 2850 with you in it.
