I don't have a budget yet. I think first things will be a front end rebuild... it's getting kinda loose up there. Make it safe.. then make it fast.

For under $3K we went 12.0's with the 360.. that included buying and building the truck.. Those days are long gone.

What I have is...

A free 318 Magnum with A500 tranny. Swap it to carb for now... then swap to Holley Sniper or FI Tech down the road to go back to EFI. The 318 alone would get me into the 15's if not high 14's.

The truck I built came in at 2500 lbs with the 360 and full interior... so it doesn't take much motor to get it going.

Also what I have....

Eaton blower from a V6 Bonneville... I thought a blown 2.4 with an Holley Sniper 2 barrel EFI conversion would be fun. Making a manifold is easy. My buddy is a machinist and we would just cut the top for the Sniper to sit on top.

I'm mulling lots over in the way of options. I like to be different and a blown 4 cyl also sounds like fun.
