i built my cousin a 355 with flat top 4 eyebrow pistons, stock crank and rods, 2.02 461 casting heads no work, solid lift .525 comp cam, roller rockers, dual plane intake and a 600 holley vaccum secondary carb, 3.73 gears, 2800-3200 stall turbo 350 transmission and went 8.34 in the 1/8th mile. not sure at all the weight of the car but nothing was done to lighten the car. car was built just to sound good and drive on the street with some big rims but turned out really good. if i was able i would post pics but not ssure how to yet.
