Car help desperately needed ..... .....for the top 5 guys with the fast SBC ( Don ), LT1 ( Ellis ), and LS1 (everybody else ) cars. The planning stage for the '71 has commenced and it's gonna be a dog fight ! So if anybody can lend a hand to the owners of these pesky 'lil 'ole displacement challenged V8's runnin' around they can sure use your help haha ! Let the **** talking began ! 
The deal the wife and I made is I buy her a new house and I get to make the '71 FAST ! We move into the new digs on January 1st ...... time for her to pay up

I have some plans to take away a few of those valuable cubes by reducing the stroke. That way I'll be closer to those little LS1 motors
Good luck - Let me know how it goes
BTW would you still be interested in doing a cage ?

Heya Bill. Check out those two links if you want some good reading on BBC's.
Seems everybody is going to 540ci and up motors. The "performance" and "engine" sections of both sites have pretty good info on build ups of mondo cubic inch monsters for the street/strip.
Thought about a Turbo or S/C on that 540? Talk about stump pulling torque.

My intitial goal is to break the 10.5 mark. Then we'll see how far it can be pushed. One Z06 just hit 9.93 with a 175 DP hit on a stock bottom ls6.
It's going to be fun this year for sure, a few cars coming out of the wood work.

Bill, Dan & I have a 355 block laying around the place that needs a rebuild on it. It was in our 71 when we bought it & cracked a rod in it.
In its day it was a pretty mean machine with the super charger on the car.
The guy that had it before we did complain the track was to slow for his car. it was clocked at 169 MPH Per Radar.

Yeah the 540's are getting more common now and you can get into one more reasonably too.Bill

I know I could spray the crap out of it and with some traction I'd be there, however like you mentioned already I'm going to have lots of company there and I need some headroom haha! In fact I expect to see at least some of the cars in the top 10 now run nines this year. Ryan's car is disgusting, Ellis's car equally so, and Don's and Mark's cars are right there too 
I'm looking forward to springtime

Bout damn time you got your sorry butt back in the game son! Sounds like your plan is finally going to get put into motion. I can't wait to see it / you back out there!!!
My car should be easy pickins next year. I hit my goal, and only plan to tweak things now. I'm gonna try to make it run 10.0s & then dial it back for the Pro / Super Street class. But it should always be ready for a grudge match once you get that monster dialed in. So quit talkin smack & bring it youngster....
