After much thought, and discussion I can't seem to find the right engine combo. I'm looking for ideas. Here's the parts I have: 400, 2 bolt block .030, 350 4 bolt block .030, both are fresh from machine shop. Bowtie heads #10051101 (55cc, 196, 2.02, 1.6), bowtie intake matched to heads #10051103 (.200 raised runners to match head)4000-8000 rpm. And 14.1 forged SRP pistons for 6" rods. No rods, no crank, no ideas. Car weight will be around 1800-2000 complete. Running 1/8 mile. The rest...well, that's why I'm here. PLEASE HELP!!! Combo ideas, cam ideas, gimme what cha got.

Oh yeah, this is only a race car. Not to be used for anything else.

OK I guess no one has any ideas.With the fore mentioned pistons in a 400 .030 block and 55cc heads, what would the max "safe" stroke on the new crank need to be? Are these heads worth running for this application? I've seen all the engine build ups, but no one uses bowtie heads.WHY? Thanks for the advise in advance.
