My house is cool. My garage is cramped too, but it's with cars, so I can just back 'em up. I'd dig into that little 350 smallblock. It sounds like fun!

With that rear gear, you could probably do the same with Futura tires from Pep Boys

I've got some 255's Mickey's on 14" rally's and it's pretty hard to light 'em up. They hear up real quick and just take off.

roracer, I think I saw your car (one pictured in signature) around town a few times. Looks awesome. That 250 degrees could have messed up some major components, but seeing how it is still running I think its safe to assume the bottom end is fine. for 1500-2000 bucks you could get an awesome pair of aluminum Canfield heads (220flow) for around 1200-1300 bucks. Than just buy like a 550 Flat tappet cam. Or if your into spending your "left over" 700 bucks, invest in like a 570 solid roller cam/lifter setup. Those 2 things with a proper matched intake (like Street Dominator/Performer RPM, etc) should net you around 360-390HP along with your MSD billet setup. I read all this thread but forgot if you mentioned if you had a aftermarket torque converter, you should invest in a 2500 stall. Get a shift kit in your tranny (most likely a TH350 right?) and like others suggested get atleast a 3.73 ring/pinion for the back.


And with some proper hookup at the track you should see at the least low 8's with some slicks/ et streets/drag radials.

Canfield heads are nice but trust me go with pro action heads.they flow better right out the box and u can get the 235 aluminum ones for like 1300$

i do alot of research in heads and other pointless b.s,many times i have been up at 4 in the monring compareing flow numbers and avg them out to see witch ones are better.
