I love the V8 sound, too, but I'm more interested in how a car runs than how it sounds... I have a Vortech supercharged 360 Magunm in my other car (1972 Valiant,) and if this old '64 runs the way it should... and we have no way of knowing that it will, BUT IF it runs the way it should, it will run away from my V8 car... That car runs mid 11's.
