I have a small block so my problem was small compared to yours,

I had to work with the alignment on the rear end to get the car to pull straight. When I got on it hard the tail would drift to the ride side, maybe a foot but in the car it felt like 4 feet.

I had to install double adjustable shocks. Increase the passengers side and soften the driver side. With the driver's weight on the drivers side you would think it would give more traction to that wheel. Not so, the torque of the motor plants the passenger side wheel and lifts on the drivers side. I adjusted my shocks to even this out and now I pull straight with the tires smoking.
