    I bet it gets deep into the 10's and weighs around 1500 to 1600 lbs. I ran a little Austin Bantam very similar to what you describe, with a Hilborn injected 301, and we were knocking on the 9's. That big block will be able to loaf along and not break parts very often. You have all the ingredients, big block torque, lots of traction, light weight, short wheelbase, etc.

    Yep, will be a fun little car to campaign.
