I imagine with a good launch it's in the area of a 12.2...

Re: ? about 1/4 mile time

the pistons are 11to1 dome pistons with 202 heads a holley 650 double pump carb . i believe the cam is the 290 cam ''lopey idle'' with a 2000 stall converter backed up with a 12 bolt rear end with 411 gears. the motor had over 325 horse power before all the work was done on it. I was just looking to see what it would run in the quarter mile i know when i tap on the gass it wants to lift the front end . so i know the power is their. what size tires can i fit on the back for traction? the guy i bought the car from said the motor had over 430 horsepower. which isnt hard to get with the 70 and 71 350 4 bolts. ? let me know what u think
I know iam gonna get bad gas mileage but who cares. iam driving one bad *** third gen lol.

Re: ? about 1/4 mile time

You prolly got crap heads, and that stall is just about at the stock level...

Mid to high 13s but it's impossible to guess really...

Re: ? about 1/4 mile time

that converter is stalled way to low for your combo. Maybe in the 3000-3500 would be much better. Let us know what time you run at the track
