Best man at my wedding spent a summer stuffing a short block 350 into a Vega.
Uncontrollable.
Delivered paint supplies to a shop that had one when I was 18 or so. It was a beast, injected and tucked in slicks. The wheelie bars just said “bad”.

That’s not uncontrollable. This was uncontrollable:
64 Tempest LeMans, 421, 2-4s, cam, etc. Straight bar front axle, one bucket seat, roll cage, 9 inch rear end, etc.
Turned 11s even though it was going sideways most of the time.
Guy I knew in high school.

I had always thought the ultimate sleeper would be a 302 in a Corvair, but I think you’ve beat that (except for your fenders rusting off).
LOL!
My old boss at an Amoco station in Virginia put a 400 small block in a 240Z. The mechanic told that it went in perfect, but the stock radiator always overheated when you stopped after pushing it hard. After one of the boss’ buddies dusted off 1/2 the town police force in it the chief said it needed to lose the engine...
