My car is a 71 that I bought as a
project about 2 1/2 years ago now. I built my motor first and had it sitting
on a stand, then I needed to find it a home.
The motor is a .030 over 454 (460)
with Speed Pro 2465 forged pistons. With my combination I have a 10 to 1
compression ratio. It has a balanced rotating assembly, ported oval port
heads, a complete Crane (139731) roller cam setup with their gold race roller
rockers, an 850 Holley double
pumper and an Edelbrock RPM air gap intake manifold. I used a MSD 6AL ignition
system with a MSD billet distributor. It has Hooker super comp headers with 3”
exhaust through Flowmasters dumping right in front of the Moser Ford 9” rear
end with a 3.89 posi center chunk turning 28 X 10.5 - 15 ET Drag tires.
It has a performance built Turbo 400 with an ATI 3000 stall converter and a
B&M ratchet shifter.
The car weighs just under 3900
pounds with me in it.
Good luck with yours. Don’t let
small setbacks dishearten you.

Congrats Bill... I hope to have
some strip results as soon as mine is finished up. What you got under the hood
for power?

[Chevelle-List] 11 second street car
Well I did it tonight. I was
trying to tune my 71 to run elevens through mufflers on pump gas. I did run
slicks but the car is street legal otherwise. I changed the jets in my 850
double pumper from 80s to 82s all the way around and blasted from
steady 12 teens to a string of 11.80s
I ran an 11.820 @ 113.75, 11.823
@ 113.69, 11.826 @ 113.63, 11.834 @ 113.80 and finished off with an 11.801 @
113.46
Boy, does that ever feel
great!
