    I have basically all the parts for my car now and plan to try and have it together pretty soon.
    The car is a 72 Maverick 2dr basically full weight
    I have a 351w .040 over and a new set of speed pro flat top pistons so 9.5-10 to 1 compression
    basically stock c9 heads with screw in studs guideplates stock valves
    comp cams extreme energy cam .523 lift
    knockoff of performer rpm intake already had and on a budget
    780 holley
    hopefully a set of roller rockers
    duraspark ignition setup
    not sure on headers yet
    c4 tranny with a ptc converter that should stall at 3100-3600 rpm
    8 inch rear with 4.62 gears and slicks.
    I am hoping for around a 7.50-7.70 in the 1/8 after all the bugs are out of it. Later on I would like to put around a 100 shot and run low 7's maybe. By what I have read My combo is good for mid 7's
