noodling on an engine combination Here are the constraints:
Keep the TH350 and 8" converter
Keep the 12 bolt, spool and 4.30 gear
28" tire
3000 - 3100 Race Weight
No more than 7700 RPM
C10 110 octane fuel.
After that all the rules go out the window.
Goal would be 8.9X - 9.3 NA
I think it will need to be solid roller and at least 13:1 compression.
Soooo Whatcha got?

8.9-9.3 N/A is gunna be a helluva feat, Might want to see how you can up the compression some more, and what kinda CI are you going to be running with? Also since your going N/A i believe you should go with an aluminum block rather than Iron bc you need to save any weight wherever you can... Also should be like a 454CI or something bigger like that, so it will pull like something serious on the top end.
