To do this with a small block, you'd have to run so much static compression ratio and so much cam that guys would be saying "race car" from a block away. The converter and gear that you'd have to run also would not be street friendly.

I'd start by stripping 500 to 600 lbs. out of the car and going Lexan for windows, then install a aluminum-headed 454 or larger with a TH400 trans, 3000 stall converter, Moser 9" housing rigged for ladder bars with 4.56 gears and a locker. You'll need a full cage and tubs.

It's easy to say 10 seconds. It's a whole other thing to RUN 10 seconds. Trust me. I've been hanging around drag strips since 1958.
