Many moons ago, I had one with a 283/220 horse PG combibation.It had a 12 bolt, and went into P/SA and with the 220 horse factor x 16 pounds +170 for driver's weight,it weighed in at 3690 minimum. It ran a 6.14 gear and I left at 4000 against the converter,shifted at 7400 and went through the lights at 7800 at 98 miles per. Never blew that thing up, what with cast Badger pistons and stock valves and all, but if it would have broken the engine in the lights, the destruction would have been complete. A 66 Chevelle station wagon was an easier car for that class. The 427/390 with the automatic sounds neat, however.
