Hey Bill
I think this message is to me.
vega_74_406
I just got done talking to Aleck in the HBody
club
about the same thing. I hate to tell you this, but my
car is also running a stock 4 link with the help of
bolt on ladder bars. To date the best is 11.86 at
114.82 with a 60 foot of 1.82. I feel the car has more
in it.. I moved from Denver to Austin TX in the past
year and have got to run the car only twice. I timed
the car by ear and put the biggest holley jets i had
in the carb. I never really got a good stall out of
the converter and let up just a little towards the
end of the quarter.. I think the car will go 11.5. As
for more info... Victor Jr intake, 830 holley carb,
Lunati solid around 570 intake and 555 exhaust with 1.6
roller rockers, 120 dome TRW pistons, stock bottom end
two bolt. I do have main and head studs. tranny is a
stock turbo 400 with a Houghs converter that stalls
around 3000-3500 rpm.
Heads are Dart 2 sportmans,
ported and polished by me. I know that im not a
professional engine or car builder but i have built my share
of small blocks and i love the 406. But hate the
cooling or lack of cooling. Its really hard to drive on
the street. I have a 9 inch rear with 411's with a
mini spool, 28 spline. Tires are a very old set of
M@H's 14 inch.. Im to the point of doing a back-half. I
have a 14 point alston cage and trying to save up the
$$ for the rest...
Hope this
helps
doug
