It would rip the rear end out of my 67 Camaro. I already scare myself with 400 HP.

You’d need a cage, reinforced frame & multiple clutches to lock down all that torque safely.

And make sure the life insurance is paid up

...as well as seam welding LOTS of plate stiffeners to the chassis. You don’t want to turn your chassis into a pretzel with this thing.

You think manual, drum brakes on all four would make for an exciting ride?

and reinforce the rusty chassis. The 950 Ft-Lb of torque is going to destroy anything after the flywheel; like the clutch, transmission, u-joints,drive shaft, rear end and tires.

In the early 1970s a true dyno pull of 1 hp per cubic inch was a very 'hot' engine. Anything north of 1.5 hp per cubic inch was a race motor. So a street-able motor with 2.35 hp per cubic inch running on pump gasoline is very impressive.
