Re: 11 second ?

Just as a reference, my buddy had a 62 shortbed years ago with a 327 with stock flattops, stock 461 heads and a big crower hydraulic cam,244/252@.050 .507/.524 112LSA,scorpion intake and a 750dp carb,th350 w/3000 stall and 3.73 gears and 295/50/15 hossiers and was running low 13`s. He tuned it alot and raced it every wednesday night. He eventually built a 12:1 383 that pushed it to 11.70`s. I think he said it weighted 3800lbs without him in it.

I would build at least the 406. I found a guy on another forum with aflat top 406, home ported vortecs and a crane cam similar to the eddy rpm cam and he`s running 12.20`s in a 3800lb camaro. Should push your truck to 12.60-12.80`s.
