If she gets sold, most likely a 434. If not, the 434 will be the next in line when $$$ comes around....

We'll see what happens

Similar built engine went 6.49 1/8-mile time in a 3300 lb Nova on pump swill. I figure a 200 hp shot should net mid-low 9's, and I upgraded the roll bar to a cage for a reason!

I plan on doing the same to mine, uped the cam and heads, built a designated fuel system for spray, I really need to get rid of the 3:55's but i really like driving it on the highway,

3.55 gears are fine. I'm running 3.73s only b/c of the spool. I'd have 3.55 in there if I could!
