Yea buddy that will get it done. Go for the 427 and with that setup it will go an easy 600 to 625 HP. I have seen a combo like tha tgo high 9s in a 2700 lb prepped race car. 10s should be no problem.

406 or 427 small block with solid roller cam (approx. .670 lift with 1.6 roller rockers and 264/270 degrees duration @ .050).
Fully forged bottom end and Dart Pro 1 230cc heads - fully ported and matched to 1206 gasket... Estimated HP output: 600 - 625 HP..
TH700R4 transmission - fully manual valvebody and reversed shift pattern with transbrake. Ford 9 inch rear end with 4-link setup...
Hope for mid 10's in winter and upper 10's in summer..

I can't get any more HP out of that combo without going with more than 11:1 compression... 11:1 is ok with 93 octane.. I'll even put a retard system on the car just to make sure that I will run problem free with 93 octane.. However - I'll race on 100 octane..

BTW - the front suspension will be set up for racing too.. (softer front spring that extends more and 90/10 shocks :D)
