With 3.55 gears it should be okay with a stock converter, something like a 2500 stall would be nice though.

Contrast it to this 455 with 8.6:1:

A low priced car with 180 horsepower in 1955 was a sensation. :)

Should be an awesome cruiser, save up for some wide whites!

All of the above.

What would be the reason to bring likely unwanted attention to your property?

Inviting “local government ineptitude” to the party might be what you’ll end up with.

KRE offers a 260 cfm head with smaller valves on the order of 2.06/1.66 or something close to that with a 65cc chamber that’s ideal for 350 builds so they’re readily available.

A 350 that can put 300 to 350 to the wheels is a pretty hot 350 that will require a lot more than the usual cam swap, intake, carb and headers.
