Hey everybody Here is our new goals, whats your thoughts on this one? taking my sons 77 Monte Carlo (5,000 lb car) aka the tank and putting a 383 stroker motor in with a 700R transmission (street & strip car) backed by a 4.10 rear end 10bolt. 2000 stall converter, running 25x11 drag radials, remember the kid wants to run it on the street and keep it as legal/somewhat original. we had a 350 sbc in it running 10's on street tires, with 3.73 arbor system. Pulling hard off the line for a car of that weight. Any thoughts on what it will run 1/8 mile. Kid has really good reaction times for a beginner Our goal is to try to build as much as possible on sbc motor only. We love to push the sbc to the top. Yes I know we are nuts but he LOVES his CAR

I did a 383 in a 67 impala with a turbo 400 and 373s. Full weight car ac and all went 8.30s on sportsman pros tires. I would think you would be about the same.

Thanks for the info, all the experience from others helps.
we are hoping for high 8's, we will find out as soon as the boy gets some $$ for the new tires. payday is coming than it will be going going gone. HA HA but hey he's 18 with no liabilities so he needs something to spend money on.
