Even with the 5.0L H.O.? Put a Decent Cam in it, and Spiff up the rear end and i think you'll be happier.

I ran the 11.12 @ 129 , 412ci small block, 26" tall DOT tire, was pretty stock suspension, pump gas (91 octane out here) all motor, hair over 3000lbs. Should be good for a mid low 10 how she sits now, i got the mph to do it. N i can fill mine up at the local gas station , dope 3rd gen tho buddy

Are you getting the front end off the ground? your MPH is good for a 10.80 pass, I usually go 10.67 at 131mph.

3000lb race weight with a 129.89 trap is good to a 10.4 ET , this was with under 10 degrees of initial timing and off the shelf carb and not power shifting, i think theres a few more MPH in her, say a 133 trap, should be good to a 10.25 ET on 91 octane. Nope front end didnt come up, like i said pretty much stock suspension (not type but actual pieces, I.E. OEM torque arm what not, couldnt do a burn out cuz of my manifold vac and tryin to use power brakes so couldnt hook) also no subframe connectors, all of which are fixed now just havent taken her back.

curious why you didnt get an aftermarket block, on these 400s basically past a 3.8" stroke you need to fill the block with filler (which you did) meaning no cooling, guess it doesnt matter since it only runs on race gas anyways. heh, just not my cup of tea i guess, fast as **** dont get me wrong just think its fun if ya can take it down the strip once in a blue moon ya know. So if ya got an aftermarket block coulda still had the collant deal done and then just carried around some race gas n still cruised it. Curious on why ya didnt do that?

I actually only had the block filled to the water pump and believe it or not it runs no warmer than 180. I got too good of a deal on this 400 block, it has the lifter bores bushed with bronze inserts, billet caps in all 5 positions, the freeze plugs are taped and screw in plugs are in it, and it was ready for assembly it just needed to be honed for the rings. I bought if for $700.00 and thats alot less than a Motown block. I still run the stock Aluminum radiator and stock single electric fan also. But I do not run a thermostat, I run a restrictor plate with a 5/8 hole. I have driven it on the street and it doesn't have any problems, just a chopy Idle like a ****!

That's kool, im actually surprised. Another question that time corrected or not? Cuz you know its cheating to correct if you use nitrous
