The power is the easy part. Getting it to hook is the challenge, especially when you start talking sub-12's.

Are you looking for a 12 second race car, or a 12 second street car?

[Chryco Psycho]

I used Ladderbars & floaters with 10" slicks for traction , I could lift the front wheels 2-3' on every pass , I was even lifting the front wheels on the street with street tires
the car was a 71 Duster with a 440 & a 4 spd

Big blocks + A-bodies = Lots of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok

64 dodge 330
3810 pounds with me in it.
410 8 3/4
28 X 10.5 mt slicks
440 +.030
915 iron heads, bowl blend, and port matched, stock 2.08/1.74 valve size(manly stainless)
Racer brown combo rockers (1.6 intake, 1.5 exhaust)
Racer brown 242@50 545/510 lift hydrualic cam
eddy performer rpm intake
mighty demon 750 carb
holley blue pump. 1/2" supply line
swapmeet hookerheaders
3" exhaust , flowmaster mufflers and 2.5" tailpipes...
727 auto with dynamic 9.5" street strip converter. stalls at 3400

My best et is 11.70 @ 115.4  That was at one of the quicker sea level tracks....Mission Raceway Park,
We're around 3600-3800 ft here, and that slows it down to around 12.28
I do run with cutouts at the track, but that picks me up, less than a tenth over the exhaust.

Nothing too crazy.  It took a lot of refining to get it this quick.
My first year with the same car, it was nearly 1 second slower.  I was running 452's and stock rockers then.

Hope this helps!

Used to get 10.2's outa my street driven "A" body, motor only, no 'roids. 3600-3800 ft elevation, Miles an hour really HARD, upwards of 136 on good days. New owner goes 9's at mission(sea level). He was NHRA Div 6 Super Pro "open series" Champion with it last year. Now, I only get to "freshen" the motor for him every coupla years, no Driving for me.

496" /727 trans, NO trans brake, BAD 60 ft.
INDY "SR" heads
8 3/4 W 4.56;1
.650" Flat tappet
3" exhaust
3375 lbs W/driver
30" X 11.5" tires in stretched wells
Leaf springs/floater/ladder bars.

Fun car !, used to drive to track, uncork the headers, tech, go racing. Went lotsa rounds. Only raced it 3 times the last 5 yrs I owned it, runner'd up the event twice, won the event once, always in Super Pro.

Just no time for it, sold it 2 yrs ago.

Best motor, I ever had in that car, years ago, was a
"pump gas" 440
Iron 915 heads, VERY ported 2.14/1.81/ re-done chambers/matched flycuts in top of cyl's to match.
.585" comp flat tappet
Thing ran consistent 11.30"s @ 118 mph at the same 3600' elevation. Beat that engine like a "red headed step-child", couldn't kill it !

Come to think of it, I still got those heads somewhere's or other.

Anybody wanna see some "MAXED OUT" 915 head pictures ? How do you post pictures ? 

[i c e b l u e]

I would like to see the heads. Who did the port work? do you have the flow numbers on them? To post a picture there is an attachment box under the where you type in a response when you reply. Just hit the browse button and find the pic you want. click the link right next to the browse button for additional attachments

[Challenger340]

I found the heads, I ported them decades ago in my heyday, we were "sick bastards" back then.  If I remember, they flowed right around 295-300 cfm on a HARD bench, and I think I've still got some flow sheets as well.

Still pretty impressive looking heads, even by today's standards. Just looking at them, we must've been NUTS to do that much work to IRON heads. But, alas, they're just weren't anything else to work with out there in those days. (70's, mid 80's)

How about I email some pics of 'em to you, you can post if you see fit ?  Seems to me, last time I tried this, took forever and went nowhere !

I'm a 'puter Idgyot !

Would a 440 running 13.sec flat with 8 stuck rods/piston pins, 8 busted cylinders and a wiped out intake lobe on the cam Performance Setup be interesting? Try that with an equally busted up Ford/Chevy engine...

The 1/4 time would have been in the 12sec, but I let go of the throttle 2/3 down the track, cause I thought the engine would rip itself apart

Engine 440

Bored .060 over + machine work
Bottom end balanced Six-Pack setup. SpeedPro pistons. 10.7:1 comp.
Edelbrock RPM 84cc heads (Unported)
Mek. cam with total 592 lift with 1.6:1 Crane Gold rockers
Weiand Team G intake with 1050cmf Dominator
Mek. Carter race fuel pump
MSD Ignition system

Dyno: 542.5Hp @ 5900rpm and 554tq @ 4700rpm

The 440 got hurt bad during the Dyno, sadly I did not know this.. so the 440 then died a horrible death at the track. Still nice power numbers with nonexotic off the shelf parts...
