272 wheel base dragster and a small block..for now. your thoughts?

getting ready to do a spitzer 272" T/D and going with a small block ford to start off with, what are your thoughts on what it would run and compared to a big block that will later going in it

sbf- dart block 4.125 bore, bryant 4.250 stroke, 6.250 oliver rods, diamond flat tops, BT 3.60 heads lunati solid roller, I.R intake with rons terminators on it, 16:1 comp. 2-1/8 headers to 2-3/8 4" collectors, reid case glide 33.5''x17 slicks and a 4.10 gear.

bbf eliminator block 4.600 bore, 4.500 stroke 6.800 rods, profiler heads lunati cam, HRE I.R. intake two 1250's motor should make around 1200 or so give and take 15.5:1 comp

bbf wont be completed til the end/winter of 2015 season, will run at the N/A weight for each set up, whata re your thoughts? what should it run?

NA stuff that's fast in TD are real big. Haven't noticed any competitive NA small blocks.

Make that ..REAL BIG, as in 800" ..

well then, guess i should scrap the two ideas and get an aluminum block. 798ci sounds good no? ;p

what head would support a motor this big, like to stay wedge, would a profiler work? or how reliable are Thor 2 heads to get?

The fast guys are running N2O or blowers. That's the cheapest way to go fast, and,,,,,,,,,, you can do it on a small block.

i blower would be nice, on a 500" motor, but what size? 8-71? 10-71? etc, what pullies? and whats the difference between screw or roots? i got not clue.
