If you street that big beast you should turbo charge it. Turbo love being lugged down with weight. That’s why they are so effective on big rigs. Hate frag race gearing too. 308 to2 gears and lots of weight would make for a nice turbo car can make 700 to 900 Ho w a stock 455 with good rods (could make it without hood rods but it wouldn’t last) and a 2 bolt block. Nothing special needed but maybe a small turbo cam.

I’d like to see a big car Turbo’s for the street.
