Hey doug, how you doing? By the way the Zoomies you sent me for my Anglia clear the chassis just fine.
But back to the question, i think with the block decked that much the biggest crank you'll be able to fit is a 3 3/4" (AKA-406" stroke) The bigger problem i see is the intake manifold, no matter what heads you choose. I think you're going to be stuck useing a fab manifold or a 3 piece stacks injection unit on that block.
The low 9's is easily reached with a 406" at 2200lbs. A friend of mine is running 9.20's in a shoebox 55 chevy @ 2650lbs with a 394" and 23 degree heads an alcohol.
