Power+weight+time.
Roger:
While it’s not a FED, my altered ran a best of 6.81 in the 1/8 mile at about 1620# with an almost stock 350 SBC and a 2100 stall convertor. That is about a 10.50 in the ¼ mile. Engine had 86,000 miles on it with a small cam (idled at 700rpm, 14” of vacuum), a high-rise and 600cfm carb. It was slow but VERY consistent:)
gtpete:
Thanks for the replies guys, keep em coming. I should hope that my 351W should make between 400/450hp and as long as its not too heavy should get me down to the low tens. I would be very happy if I could run a 9:90 ;D
buickfed:
don't confuse the chevy 350, which they make a ton of everything, with the buick 350, which I make or modify other parts. we may be lighter but not faster.
Oldford 65:
My FED is 184” and weighs 1480 with a 350 Chevy, not much done to it. It runs 9.6@136. 1.3 60 ft. Still tuning on it.
SaltandPepper:
165" FED with a 327, first year running was pretty consistent at mid 9s, 140-143mph. Plan to weigh it this spring but estimate around 1650lbs. If I wasn't so green at the wheel I feel it could get into the low 9s with better reaction time and proper shifting.
