If you mean stock Ford reciprocating assembly-then no way. Ken ran 10.8's with a 2V, but it was a totally built engine in a race car.

I should have mentioned in my first post with a stock block 281 as I have done with my stock block Camaro. I know it probably won't be possible with stock heads, valves and everything else I mentioned about my Camaro but with the factory 281 block in any case.

With some ported heads and massive cams I could see running well into the 11's. Maybe mill some material off the head to increase the static C/R (not sure about any possible PTV issues with the 3v heads) and pick up some power there. But 10's with a heavier car... Ehh, I just don't see it. At least not with the aftermarket support that is currently available.

Just ran a 10.803 @ 122.38mph last Wednesday night in the Camaro with 94% humidity air, 65 degrees. I should see some 10.6s next winter. My weight was 2920#.
