1977 exciter 440 grass drag setup???

[howsahemi]

So there is a grass drag coming up here in northern Illinois and I'm thinking of entering. I've never even been to a grass drag let alone raced in one. I've drag races cars for a number of years so I know how to do that. So. Where do I begin? I'm really looking forward to doing this. I would enter the stock 440 class. Anything major that needs to be done? Jet the carbs for the weather??
