Thanks, I have access to a 454 block if i can talk my grandfather into parting with it. The car is built really well where the suspension and cage are concerned, i have a disc brake conversion kit for the car that will go on in the near future. As far as the tranny goes, i'm going to have to make do with the th400 for a while. Its a well built one, but in the future i plan to go with a 'glide. How much horsepower and torque would you estimate is needed to run mid 10's in this car?
