Another update.

The car's previous best with just the engine swap with a stock 6cyl drivetrain on 14" stock tires it went 14.394 @ 94.2 mph with a 2.087 60 foot.

With the B&M transmission shift kit, the 3.42 posi rear, a set of crane roller rockers (got rid of the roller tipped rockers), and some 275-50-15 drag radials, it went 13.407 @ 99.44 mph with a 1.933 60 foot flashing the converter. It was falling over on its nose before the traps so it was running out of fuel. I kept raising the float levels to get it to stop falling over but it started running really rich. It really needs a fuel system upgrade. It has a parts store $13 pump on it and a cheapie glass filter with some bogus lines running to the carburetor. I feel it will pick up some MPH and maybe a tenth or two with a solid fuel system.
