Grumpy,
Here is our (son & I) proposed setup. It will be in a 3300-3500#, 1956 Ford F100 pickup.
The idea is to build a good street motor (425 ish HP) with the potential to up
the power later by going to a hyd roller or juice (not more than 100 shot) if desired. It appears to be similar to Rumrumm's
build.
What do you think?

Trans: TH350, 2000-2500 stall
Rear end: Ford Explorer 8.8, 3.73 ratio, Traction Lok, 31 spline axels & 3.25" tubes

Engine:
Summit 350/383 4 bolt block, bored/honed, decked, align bored, clearanced for H beam rods.

Powerhouse Stroker Kit
Cast crank
5.7" I beam rods, with ARP bolts
KB hypereutectic pistons, 1.433 comp ht.
Pressed pins
Moly rings

Elgin E-920-P cam (Identical to Lunati Bracket Master II, # 00010) 292/292, 230/230, .480/.480,
LSA 109, 2* ground in, 74* overlap. The CC 280 is on a 110 LSA with 60* overlap
Chose a single pattern cam due to the better than average (84.5% E/I average) flow of the heads on
the exhaust side

Powerhouse/Avenger aluminum heads 190cc, 64cc chmbr, angle plug
.100 - 64/61, .200 - 128/115, .300 - 181/150, .400 - 227/190, .500 - 260/209, .600 - 277/227
The heads do not flow quite as good as the AFR 190 on intake at .300 & .400 (14 & 13cfm, respectively less) but flow better
on exhaust (7 - 19 cfm) across the board.
Plan on doing a minor bowl blend and polish up chambers and piston tops
Quench will be .043" to .045", CR: Static 10.7:1, Dynamic 8.1:1

Powerhouse SS, Rocker arms, full roller 1.5
Summit Street/Strip billet distributor w/vacuum adv., w/Summit Street/Strip coil and MSD 6AL
Accel adjustable vac adv, to allow for 32-36* total with vac adv adj for 52* at light cruise
Professional Products aluminum (airgap) dual plane intake manifold
Holley 3310-2, 750cfm, vac secondaries
Headers, 1-5/8" hugger type to fit engine bay
 
the potential use of nitrous would make me favor a 112 lsa and 1.6:1 ratio rockers
and a cam like that will prefer a 2700-2800rpm stall converter
 
btw I just helped complete tune-up on an old school, street/strip 90% track engine, recently for a local guy, using parts he already owned for a T-bucket, with a custom built frame that weights right at 2600lbs, yeah,
he trailer-ed it over here,
its not usually street driven, he says he bought the basic rolling chassis a few years ago with a blown-up 327 sbc, engine, with a rod thru the block, for $6k and hes got about $9k in the current engine
he CAN,T keep from destroying the tires, or grinning like hes drunk!

damn thats fun watching the car destroy tires it makes you feel young, I wish Id taken pictures
I really feel that as a weekend toy those T-buckets are the way to go as they are sure easy to access the parts and they don,t weight that much so big tires and huge brakes make for exceptional performance potential
the car looks very similar to this one, except for the t-ram intake and the cars midnight blue, and yeah it only runs on race gas[/color]

I thought about building a "T" bucket with a 454 when I retired. My son, in the interest of my longevity, convinced me against it.

That (his) would be a lot of motor for the street. We had a 4.88 w/a spool,Summers Bros axles and an M22, .670/.680 on the Engle in the Vega and on street gas had to mix unleaded, leaded and Moroso.
 
If I built one myself it would have a decent roll cage,reinforced frame and roll bar,behind/over each seat, Id make the car so I sat low,and not sitting up strait, but those cars are a grin a minute, to drive

something a bit closer to this style
