Steve Good luck, Jim & Cody LaRoy, ala LaRoys Engines out of Challis Idaho :headbang: , will give you a great engine combo, if you listen & do what they say... You should be in the 11's pretty easily, you have a great base, maybe add either S/S springs & adj. pinion snubber or Calvert/CalTracs could get there with decent traction & properly tuned engine/chassis & tire/Converter {maybe more converter too, 2500 is kind of low stall speed for any 10 or 11 second car, 3500-3800 would work much better}... The intake & carburetor combo maybe could also be improved some also, squirter's accel.pumps cams air bleed, metering blocks, jet extensions on the rear, trim air horn, etc. lots of places/part to tune/tinker with... Take weight out of the car where ever you can, power to weight ratio is the whole deal sometimes, especially with these heavy cars, maybe move the battery to the pass. side rear trunk, add some adjustable, front & rear drag shocks, larger sending unit 3/8" min. & fuel lines 3/8"/or #6AN min, adequate fuel pump, that will work fine on the street or track, help to achieve the 11 second ET goals....
