What do you condsider bullet proof?
All that would be needed, is a stock bottom end with ARP fasterners and maybe even a Main Girdle. Keep the rpms under 6,300 rpms with balanced parts.
A set of AFR 185 or Twisted Wedge Heads, custom ground cam or an extreme energy grind cam from comp-cam. Depending on induction a 650 mighty demon carb with a Victor jr intake, Or a Holley system max intake, edelbrock rpm II, or even a TFS intake would work.
A set of full length headers and 2.5-3.0 exhaust.
3.73-4.10 gears.
That basic combo on a 3,200 pound car, that hooked, would easily run 11's in a 5-speed car.
As goes for a power adder...150 shot would result in a low 11 or high 10 second time slip and do-able with $10,000. I would just keep it in the 11's, if longevity is a factor and tune-up ...right!
If a bullet proof bottom end is in order, then run the most amount of cubes you can. That means 418+ cubes,...if it's not going to be in a cubic inch limit class. (minimal amount of difference in cost at the bottom of that wish list) Just beware that it will easily be over $10,000 at that point.
