Just curious Adam, what is your rear axle and suspension setup? Knowing this might help experts here (not me) to judge how much risk there is.

I proved the hard way, twice, that the stock suspension and rear in my 67 FB were not up to a hard launch at the track with the engine that I put in that car. And that was on DOT (Pro-track) tires. A long time ago now but I can still hear the big bangs on the "non-launches.".
