The car's not really to quick enough to run in the appropriate class because of it being back halved. The back halved cars are in the low-mid 8's. I will do some bracket racing and a little strret duty.

I really don't know what kind of mileage I am getting. I wish I could get by with $8.00 a gallon race fuel. The VP Fuels C16 is $10.75 a gallon which is the best price I have found.

Too bad all the good street racing has really got cracked down on. It would be one hell of a street race car.

mitch, have you tried looking into e85 yet?

i had what was basically a 30 over 351 with forged pistons, pretty big flat tappet cam, stock windsor jrs ( which i think were too small ) vr jr intake and 750 carb. in my 86 coupe with a 3500 stall covertor , c4 and 373s i ran consistent 11.90s on dragradials, ( 11.70 @ 115 ) was my best and i ran 10.70s with a 150 shot @ 124 . I've hada dozen 302s and this was my first 351. Spend the money on a 351 , you'll have a stronger block, more torque and plenty of room to grow

p.s i'm building a stroker out of a lightning block so i sold it to a friend of mine and he put it in his ranger, with a 200 shot of nitrous he's gone 10.30s @ 129

^^ he has a 351 stroker already. he is just wanting to know the pros and cons of them or any info about them. he used to have a mod motor and just switched over the the pushrod 'technology' lol. btw, was your c4 built or no?

wow 10.75 a gallon that has to be 116 octane leadedrace gas, I purchased 106unleaded at 6.50 a gallon not two months ago. Even then you can go to local airports and get 100LL airplane gas for less then or abouts 5 a gallon if leaded gas does not pose a problem for ya.

9sec85

i have couple things to say for one this block and combo will handle 900hp,two show me a stock block that can go out to 4.125,three tell me why you think this can't be driven on the street cause i built this car to be on the street and it has seen plenty of street time and as far as the 11-1 car that only gets 2-3 mi to the gal i would say theres something wrong with that cause i could get 75 miles on this with 116 fuel and 10gal cell i've done it!!!!! one more thing mitch if you think about e85 you better think about talking with patrick at pro systems before just trying to run it

mitch dont worry about that block its strong to hold a good 1000-1200hp

PM Madman@thewheel for more info. he has built more 351 strokers than anyone i know and he is also using this block for his current 408 build
