Oldskool,
I will be watching this with interest.
One thing to remember on the weight calculations, you have to add 170 lbs for the driver to the weight. So your 310 hp times 11.5 weight break = 3565 + 170 = 3735 lbs race weight.

I have a 67 Firebird Convertible that I run in IHRA stock, with a zz4 crate motor (G/CM). I also bracket race it. More brackets than anything last year and probably this year, as I have a son who just started Jr. Dragster racing.
Would love to build a 400 - 4 speed combo eventually, and I have a set of 670 heads and intake - 1967 only combo on the 400. But time, work, kids, money, etc. all have this on hold. My car is originally a Sprint OHC 6 car, and I have the original motor in the shed.
Good luck with your build.
There are some really knowledgeable Pontiac people on here that are always helpful. If you ask nice, sure you will get all the help you need.

Ken
