I would go run it, but I just had to pull the steering column on it, I couldn't get 1st gear or reverse, needs a rebuild, and its hard to find the parts, so I will update later about the race.

When I got my truck with the stock 360 which had almost no oil pressure and was knocking so bad I couldn't stand it, I ran an 18.4 second quarter. This truck is a long bed and had no known drivetrain modifications. The gear was a 3.25 one legger. You should easily be in the 17s. Maybe even high 16s. It weighed about 4250 with me in it.

I'd also like to see what my 1/4 would be running a 67 shortbox 1/2 ton. I've got a 352 with edelbrock performer intake and 600cfm 4bbl. It's got an open 4inch air cleaner, dual breathers(no PCV) and pertronix ignitor. 3 on the floor converted from column, and duals running through stock logs and generic turbos. Timing at about 10-12 BTDC. For tires in the back I'm using proxes ST 275/60R15.( http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?ti...l=Proxes+S%2FT) They have a really aggresive directional tread and get extremely good traction. I've got 3.5 open read diff too. I'm just looking for a rough idea on a time.
Thanks

'70 car 390, 9.5:1, stock 2v cam, shelby dual plane intake, headers, C6, dana 44 3.54, 235/75/15's.
I ran 15.91 it's first outing on a warm day with wind, so...
Depending on how the shifts go, expect an upper 15.

Pat, I forgot to mention my RV cam. I know that it's not a high RPM cam, but would it help acceleration because of the low end torque?
Yeah, my tires are tiny.... 225/70/15. My truck screams going over 70-80
