shouldn't be too hard, a good set of forged internals, a nice used intake and a good nitrous cam should get you close. as long as your trans and rear end are right. I would sell the 302 and find a nice Windsor and build that, probably come in around the same cost with a much nicer foundation
 
I might be willing to sell you my forged 331 shortblock if you're interested. Its a low compression pump gas motor that runs 11.50's-60's on motor. If you have a decent set of heads it will go reliable 11's on motor all day long on pump gas. Just thought i'd put it out there....
I'm still not 100% sure if I wanna sell it just yet but we might be able to negotiate something.

Will keep it in mind pm me on thought a price wont be right a way.I still have two guy interested in buying my 86 gt.Where i'm at is sell the car and hook a nother car up that I might trade for or put a motor in my car.
 
motor and parts

my motor in my car now 302 303 cam stock heads victor jr intake proform 750 msd dist under drive pullies bbk headers digital 6 box c4 4000 stall 8.8 410 gear 27/11.5/15 quick times. Then I also have the old long block that has stage 3 roller cam valve train in it.
 
If you can find a decent set of heads for my motor and put it in your car it would probably run alot better than it does in my car. I have a tight nos converter in a heavy hatch. That stage 3 cam would probably work better as well. I basically have the stage 2 in mine.
 
unless you plan on changing the converter your probably better off building a motor car. I could be wrong but I always thought nitrous liked a tight converter.

That 750 is about perfect for a 351w Honestly I'd find a decent 351w pick up one of the sets of aluminum heads in the for sale section. More then a few in there and the car should go 11.50's all day long.
 
Stock long block,
F cam
Vic. Jr intake
1.6 RR's
GT40P heads(untouched)
750 Holley
On a 150 shot it went 11.03 @ 121mph.... 60' was 1.41 C4 w/ T-brake
<<<<Pic in avatar is the 11.03 pass.
 
EASY....focus your attention on weight, and suspension. As stated build a stout motor with decent parts, and PULL weight. Budget for a good suspension, so you can leave hard and straight. 11's all day long. :thumbsup:

well i know greentrunks car on here has a 9inch 5000 stall in his car for nitrous and he loves it. but if he has an off the shelf converter like a b&m or somthing like that its probably tight even for a 4000.
 
This setup would cost next to nothing and is a 11.00 setup...

lolll there a lil better than stock but you said you used a "stock long block" and "gt40p" heads which means from what you were saying you used 2 sets of heads on one motor :beerchug:
