As far as "Mopar Tax" I dissagree. I realize that when it comes to SBC parts there are more choices, making the prices cheaper. But unless your building a full tilt racing engine, Mopars "especially Big Blocks" can be made to run very hard with factory parts.
I have a 68 383 with a rerung shortblock, stock 346 heads with handlapped valves, 484 Hyd. cam, TM6 intake, 750 Holley DP and headers and it runs 12.50s in a 3500 lb Coronet. I don't know what it would run in a 1500 lb rail but I'm sure it would dip into the 9s.
Please understand. I'm not trying to start a pi$$ing match as I Love and Appreciate ALL old Cars. When it comes to basic Little Guy Hot Rodding there are alot of choices.
By the way, Great looking FEDs everyone!
