I am probably getting a 1967 Elky with a 350/TH350 combo already in it. Now if I did some engine work, maybe turning the 350 into a 383 and add some nice heads and fixed up the tranny with a shift kit, what type of quarter mile times will I be seeing? What are you guys running?

My guess, and that is all it is, with a 3.73 gear & 400 Horses and good reaction time 11s to 12s. Better with a 4.10 and a THM 700R4 or 200R4 and better gas mi.

And............. Welcome to ECC / NECOA!
