Matt, what grind was the cam in your 71 Charger R/T?
I'll line up my big old Imperial with a wanna be Hemi next to your Newport when we're both done. Bring cash or get ready to sport a new bumper sticker, you choose.

If we are running speed boats, I would like to partake in this, and I will run a naturally aspirated old school carburetted RB big block with no baby bottles.
I think a video clip of each car running at their own nearest track could be a substitute for an actual line up, which would be difficult due to our different locations.

That works. I was talking about my Imperial, not my Challenger though. The 6.1L for the Imperial is 11.5:1 naturally aspirated. Nothing too crazy. 500 horse or so (flywheel).
I'll prolly have to bring the Challenger & a baby bottle though if you are gonna bring a built big block. I would have gone N/A on the Challenger too if I didn't want to still drive it on the street. But I do...
I'll settle for video/time slip. Do you have a car that's track ready?

Still waiting on the block, balancing etc. My machinist moved his shop and had a hard time getting his CNC equipment moved.

thats the 509/292 but I'd step it down a notch from there if I had it to do over again.
i have a good 440 core that's complete out of a '73 RV up here in Detroit. Where are you located Newportmopar66?

My Challenger will weigh in somewhere around 4500....

You're kidding!!
They are really that heavy?? 200 lbs shy of a Formal??
4200 or so stock, plus mine has a 6 point roll bar, baby bottles, etc. I haven't weighed it yet but it'll be right in that range.
