i think youd be alright with the stall and the light car runnin the glide. now what id do is put a diaper on that motor for if/when it scatters the bottom end at 140mph. 400 bucks for a replacement motor is awesome but potential disaster if you oil the track at those speeds. which im sure you know and hope it doesnt happen to you.
btw i think 10's are possible. runnin carb why not go on alcohol now? you will pick up the torque some. cut some extra weight by not having to run a rad if you dont want to either

i think he means 4.8 pistons cause they give you more compression...like the L33, in fact i think i remember reading that the L33 piston is the same partnumber as a 4.8....
im gona say it will run a 11.15 or so..... just a wild guess

Exactly. 4.8L pistons would bring the comression with the 862 head to around 10.5:1 or so. A 4.8L crank would just take cubes away, bad idea for power.
