A friend had a 66 cutlass with a very similar engine build. He was using a performer manifold, with a 850 Edelbrock Q-Jet and a comp cams 292 grind. Same headers, car made right at 300 rwhp. With a th350 trans, 10 inch converter and 4:10 gears ran 12:50-12:40s pretty consistently.

Sticky tires? If so, you remember what they may have been? Just out of curiosity.
I know it’s a far from optimized combo, but it’s the result of lots of parts scrounging and deal searching. I do plan to do something about the heads at some point in the future. But it’s a lot of fun to drive at the moment. I will visit the chassis Dyno when I get some decent exhaust on it, instead of the pieced together crap I have now.

If anybody is curious, an update.
Went to chassis Dyno today. Ran out of time so had to drive it instead of trailer.
Made 300hp/325tq at the wheels all done by 5100. WOT AFR was 11.8 with cutouts open.
Best 1/8 mile pass so far with me still learning has been 7.96@85.6mph with a 1.71 60’
