300rwhp and mid 13s. Diff is junk that will hold you back a lot, also, look at getting a better intake manifold and headers.

[nismodave]

250 RWHP and High 14s considering driver.

[juicedimpss]

it need a loose convertor.with a stock convertor and a 3.08 gear ill say low 14's if it hooks.

[Prince Valiant]

I'm going to echo Ron...but I'll say that it might ska-week out high 13's...I wouldn't think any faster than 13.7. I say b/w 240-260whp.

Pair that combo with 2800 stall T/C and 3.73 gears however, and you might surprise yourself.

For reference though, here's a combo I ran for a while:
3700lbs including driver
wide ratio 4 speed/OD manual trans, 2.94 gears, open differential.
360, .060 over for 371ci.
8.2:1 CR
Stock 1.88 valve mid 70's non-smog heads, good 3 angle valve job by performance shop, MP performance valve springs.
Holley 4016 600 cfm vacuum secondary carb
Eddy Performer intake (non-rpm)
MP performance 268/272 adv, 228/232 dur @ .050, .450/.455 lift, 112 LSA
Hedman Headers, long tube, 1 5/8th dia.
MP electronic ignition, advanced to 16* @ idle, 40* total, all in by 2800rpm.

That similarly weighted and geared car (maybe slightly heavier worse on both counts), with less heads, less carb, and a touch less cam, and likely less compression ran a best of 14.2 @ 95mph...3.90's took it down to 13.7....

[jersyboyy]

WOW I personally know of a intake/carb/headers 305 thirdgen running 14.3.

In any event I know my rear is garbage and im planning on running an ls1 10 bolt with 3:73's. Lca's,panhard bar, strut tower brace, drag radials in the back and a 2800 stall.

the problem with the combo is the lack of gear/convertor for the cam you have jersey. it will prob run close to 99mph im guessing.
just needs the convertor and gear to get the car into the power.

you found a super rare setup or they lied to you Jeremy. like ron said, hell like everyone said, you're gonna make some power, but have little chance to get it to the ground. there's quite a few cars on here that run less power then others, but have proper traction and gearing, and are much faster

[70 cutlass 442]

not enough converter or gear, motor deffintaly has some potential, probably 250ish at the wheels, but you wont feel it with that drive line!

[jersyboyy]

I had the car dynoed a few months before I blew my headgaskets.

Performer intake, much smaller cam, 600 cfm carb, headers, stock exhaust, old crappy 882 heads.

200 horsepower to the wheels at 4200 rpm...they shut it down because it was running severely lean.

[forest]

so you think you will get an other 100 hp with what you did? The car will make what it makes, I have a junkyard motor going in my car and I bet it does 300 rwhp on a good day.....

[jersyboyy]

Well with a good tune running at 5000+ rpms and the new heads alone should make more than 50 hp.
I mean im not dumb but that sounds logical to me!

[Prince Valiant]

Keep in mind Jersyboyy....that it's always best to be a little pessimistic going to the track...

Get it done and run it...personally I'm looking forward to seeing the slips.

[jersyboyy]

as am I prince. You mentioned when I first got the car that we should have done a wicked sbc build. Well it may not be wicked but I did manage to build something out of this.

If the car is running monday ill do the best I can to tune it up and dial everything in tuesday.
Wed is the last time the local drag strip will be holding their monthly bbq. They have tons of food and its a test and tune kind of event. Im hoping to attend, cross your fingers.

[70 cutlass 442]

you could always hit it with a 150 shot, that should wake it up even with a tight converter and lack of gear!

[jersyboyy]

Hidden 150 shot is on my list for after I changed the stall and rear and throw some susp mods at it.

[nismodave]

Make sure the Alternator is good.

[Irish]

14.2-14.0 at 98-100mph with a 2.0 60 foot.

[jersyboyy]

Spent the last 5 days straight putting the motor together taking it apart and putting it back right. Cant get it to start. Iv been told to check the timing again, which iv already done a few times but im going to give it another shot tommorow when the battery charges back up. Wish me luck fellas

does it fire back or anything...not an unusual thing to put 180 degrees off when stabbing in the distributer. Take a compression tester too just to make sure you're getting compression....and if you're putting fuel down there, gettting spark, and have compression, it should run.
