It was originally RR1 Burgundy Poly with a maroon/red interior (bench seat), but I'm going with black and the same maroon/red interior. I have a 383 ready to go, .030 over, 11.5cr, perf rpm intake, headers. I've also converted the car to manual and have an 18 spline trans. going to use a dana 60 w/ 3.54s. I have several 440 & 400 cores that I may stroke out at a later date.
Yeah, looks like you had your hands full with that charger.
You will really like the stroker if you go that route. I have 2 based on the 400 block and think they are great. Driving that 11.5:1 much on the street will probably get old in a hurry as far as having to mix race gas in the tank..
I am going to run a cam that will lower dynamic CR, that and 94 octane. I ran a 440 with an engle solid cam, 11.1cr on 94 octane for several years, no problems at all, even on 92 occasionally. Maybe its the canadian gas, I also avoid any fuel mixed with enthanol.
A note about ethanol though, there are ethanol/gasoline blends that are 105-113 octane and will support CR's from 13.1 to 20.1. So if I learn how to build an ethanol friendly engine that may be the route.
