The motor is a stock 360 with a set of Kieth Black flat top pistons that are
.030 over. The heads are Brodix B1BA's that have been pocket ported and have
been shaved to give 53cc combustion chambers. That gives me a 11.75 to 1
comp. ratio. The intake is a Victor that I portmatched to the heads and the
carb is a 850 Holley. The cam is a Mopar Perf. 312/590 solid and the
headers are Hooker Comps. As far as traction is concerned I used to run a
904, but I switched to a Powerglide to help on the starting line. I run
ladder bars for traction and use a set of M.T. 29.5X11.5 slicks. The gears
are 4.56's and I use a 8 3/4 for a rear.
