Hi guys,
I have never been to the drags before and was thinking of going for the first time. Just wanted to get a ballpark time of what an XC sedan with a stock 351 Cleveland cast 2v CC heads, Single rail manual and a 3.23:1 diff(has a single spinner in it at the moment, hoping to have an lsd fitted before i go but most likley not) should be doing down the 1/4. Just so I have some thing to aim/guage my times off. So what do you guys with some experience expect to be manageable? Cheers Bryan

Yeh, I think a flat 16 would be about right.

take a packed lunch...i am guessing 16sec as well, maybe a 15 if you are lucky. It is always good to have a "before" time, so any mods can be directly compared

while we are guessing what about a 500hp 393 in an XY with only 3k stall and 3.5 diff gears?

Depends on so many variables, but should be high 11 or low 12? Diff ratio aint gonna help.

With a stock 351, tri-y's, a single 2 1/4" exhaust, an auto, 3.23:1 single spinner in an XD panel van I ran 15.7@89MPH
That was the before time :evil3:

My first XB did a 17.76 with a worked 250 2V, 1800 stally and 3.5 rear end.
my next one was a stock 302/c4/2.7 BW single spinner; ran a 19 ![]() After that car was written off (got cleaned up at the lights), put the same engine/gearbox in another XB, changed to a twin point dizzy, single plane weiand intake, 600 vac holley, 4 into 1s, and a 3.5 rear end and ran 16.15. I was pretty happy considering the engine was a 302 had unknown Ks and I am a lard ar*e... will be very interested to see how you go.... be prepared to bitten though :evil3: |
