Hey Ciara,
I put a combo together somewhat similar for a guy a few years ago. The heads were D00Es ported w/190-160 valves, Herbert roller 610 lift 234/238 duration, victor jr, 750 dp only 10.5 comp. 10in covertor c4, 410 gears in a heavy 73 stang. It ran 11.8 aT 116. That was on street tires (MT). You didn't mention trans. But probably 3:73 would be good gear. You will need good suspention and make sure the frames are tied and youll need at least a 6 point rollbar as fast youll be going maybe a cage. Oh yeah we used Hooker 1 5/8 headers on that 73
