Althought not period correct except for the old style Paxton, going with some sort of power enhancer ie; Supercharger or Turbo seems the way to have a nice streetable car that has big horse power. It's amazing what the new Mustangs and Cameros can make in HP and without your foot in it they drive like the normal grocery getter. I think a low compression 427 FE with a big Paxton on it would be interesting. My 496 FE made 681 at the crank and it is very streetable even with 10:7:1 compression, but I do put some higher octaine fuel in it (a few gallons) in the summer to counter all the bad ethonal fuel out there.........Nothing wrong with HP as nice to have it but you do not need to use it to the max. Something to think about
