Seems to me that running a Street Hemi in an E Body would not be a viable option, thanks to the considerable additional factored HP incurred by Mr. Henson's too-far under run.

A stick version wouldn't carry the weight penalty, of course, but that car might be a handfull. to get down the strip...
Why not stick that engine into a '69 Roadrunner? Seems like a natural, to me....

Just my usual 2 cents....
