My friend is looking into buying a '77 auto that is stock except for muffler eliminators. She is wondering what it would take to get the car to run 14.0 or better in the quartermile. Would a top end package work, would a crate engine be needed? Any kind of input would be helpful. Thanks.

GrandsportC3 put a 383 crate motor from AR engines in his 69 and turned mid 11's in the 1/4 mile, I believe it was less than $4000. There are endless possiblilties how how fast does she want to go ( read: how much money does she have to spend )

I believe that she falls under the classic "as fast as possible for as little as possible"

79-L-82

If the motor's OK, then N2O should fit her requirement.
Otherwise, for the 14.0's or better, she'll have to spend a little money.
Depends on how much. . .
I'm a lover of the old intake, heads, cam and exhaust.
That's the route I'm taking, but; I'm looking for 13.0's
