Just curious to see if its worth it, but what would one expect out of a 454 that is pretty much stock, maybe ported/polished heads, different cam(nothing wild), and maybe a different piston, for a rough ET in an 81 bu that is stripped out, 10 or 12pt cage, with a 9" with a 5.13 gear in it? The car would be about as light as can be, ie alum dash, lexan, trunk pan removed and replaced with alum., etc etc. I wanna go fast eventually, but would like to play around a little while too. Think I could hit 11s?

5.xx anything gears are going to be too much gear for a "pretty much stock" BBC with a "nothing wild" cam. Build a torque motor & gear it accordingly, maybe 3.55's or 3.70s...
