Hi Pat Hope your Christmas was great. Question, why not build a 390 larger bore short stroke and take 200 lbs out of the car. I had a 67 Fairlane with a 289,3spd, 350 gears open it was a blast to drive and smoke the 1 tire for 200ft. How much fiberglass is on the car?? I would think the alum block wins out unless their is a compression limit. I am not familiar with this class and it's limits. The faster the wieght transfer to the rear wheels the best the bite and 60 foot time. All the Chevy NHRA pro stocks are using the Merlin tall deck cut down. My machinist has 8 in shop he is working on. Do you come to E-town? I would like to see your car. I can go to E-town, Atco, or Maple Grove. Talk to you latter, going to work. Sat I go and pick up my car from ERA.
