heres; an example of what light weight can do on a mildish 318....

318 .040 over
9.9:1 compression ratio
J heads 2.02X1.60
Weiand stealth intake manifold gasket matched
.488/.510 lift 236/246 duration at .050
1 5/8 hooker headers into 2.5 collectors
600cfm holley carb

904 transmission
2500 stall
8 3/4 with 3.23's

Car race weight was 2843
Best of 12.94 at 112.5,
lots of wheelspin
(112mph=12.00 if car hooked and around 325hp)

there's lots of small block/big block combo's but I will refrain from putting them up as these are all in the US.

I could probably cobble together a basic 440 and new A727 - that would speed you up a bit...........

Great offer Pete thanks.
But not something I'd be looking at doing yet. If ever !!
