    With a 406 anything is possible. 11 sec 1/4's are not uncommon with such a big engine.

    If you want to make sure ask him to demonstrate it.

      I disagree... 406s could do it but I doubt you're that lucky :)

      Bring it to the track with the guy, on you, and test his theory :)

            i only know basic car stuff not really that much.. i know a 406 is a big engine but still a 11 sec 1/4 mile sounds a lil exgerating.. but ('ok my NEW car is a 67 camaro with a 406 engin (REALLYfast) and its blue w/ a black vinal top ALL ORIGINAL it has a roll cage and is seriously one of the fastest street cars in s'port') that is what the guy said and s'sport is short for shreveport which is where i live

                  my guess is an OBed 350 big block, which they did make back in the day.

                        350's can only be bored over .003, which makes it 355. Even if you stroke it it comes out to 383. Maybe a bored 400? That's what I think.

                          can a GM person tell me how to get a 360? is it a dodge block or is it a bored 350?

                          the reason being I had aguy in town that claims to get 900 horses outta a 360 with a a 500 shot of nitro and this great car he has, a 84 monte carlo, its what he uses for street racing. Is it possible to make 900hp on a 360? I don't think it's blown or otherwise and I'm almost sure he doesn't have what it takes to make a built block.

                            A 360 is a Mopar engine. You could get that displacement out of a 350, but why, it would be easier to just bore it out and stroke it out to a 383.

                              usually a 350 would be bored over .030 to make a 400 stroker. as for the 406 it is possible to bore larger but you would have to install all new pistin sleeves, and wouldn't last terribly long. i have seen taht year camaro with 454s that is more realistic for 11 sec car. although strnger things have happened. where do you live? high altitudes can effect the fuel/air mix to the point where the car can and will perform better than other places.

                              just thinking out loud.......:)
