The car is a 71 that I bought as a project 2 years ago. I built 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 850Holleydouble 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 Ford 9� rear end with a 3.89 posi center chunk turning 28 X 12.50 - 15LT �ET Street 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. I�m sure it will run 11s the way it is. My best 60� was 1.754. I think I can get it to 1.6 with a little practice. The driver is the weakest link at this point.

GReat jobBill... I honestly can't remember your combo you are running (eng,trans, gears, tires) you are running but I'd say you must be going pretty�good to pull low 12's w/ 110. But really nice times for the first time out... keep picking away and get in the 11's. What are your 60 ft's looking like? Good Luck.

Well, I finally got the beast to the track. I was expecting mid to high 12s. What I got was a 12.14 out of the box followed by a tire spinning, 12.25, a 12.07 and a 12.16. My MPHs were 110.61, 111.19, 111.35 and 110.89. The humidity got real high by my last run and pretty much squashed any hopes of 11.90s for tonight, although I know the car has 11s in it. The driver just needs to find them. The car runs goooooood.

I am a very happy gearhead right now. All the problems I went through to get the car to this point almost seem worthwhile�..well, almost.
