Your idea of "street " car and mine are miles apart , for me a street car should be able to drive every day 30 -50 miles each way , home - work - home , be able to take a 200 mile cruise no problem . 4:30 gears and 8" converter would suck in the above sittuation .
Just sayin , fast car , but " street " car ?

Read a little closer.
When that engine was in a street car (1973 Dart Sport) with full interior, exhaust, wipers etc, it had 3:91 gears & a 9.5" convertor.

It could be driven to & from the track, 60 mile round trip, with no concerns.
No overheating & cruised nicely @ 60MPH.

The 4:30 gera & 8"convertor came after it was installed in the Demon, that also has the frames tied, 6 point roll bar, cal tracks & 10" slicks. Not a street car.
