Listen to the folks who have "been there,done that"......your talking about a high compression,very tempermental engine that will require a lot more than the average engine.....
For your stated purposes,if your dead set on a big block car,you'd be much better off with a nice stroked 390/428......
If you buy this car,I'll bet within a year you'll be looking to sell it......
