A excellent combo, has proven itself over and over. Olds are torque motors and the heads are not exactly stellar. But as with anything with enough money and work it will run. Should be capable of 7-8 under on limited budget and 1 plus under if you hate your money. No exotic manifold needed maybe a RPM or street dominator. Small tires are faster then big tires and I would gear for 7500 at 120 mph. Vogues Olds engine are strong. I'd love to do one of these - have fun.
