Any 10 second "All Throttle" 318's in door cars ?

I really don't have a purpose or use for a "race engine" either. But I have parts just "laying here and there" and thought they could sit just as well be bolted together as in different places... Ha! I would put it in a Duster for a year just to toy with it. Then, it would most likely be pulled.

And that's a great reason. Wasn't trying to take anything away from what or why you are thinking about this. Just saying that when I start daydreaming about those ideas I end up with "modifiers" like "has to be streetable". But that's just my situation and desires, not suggesting they should influence yours.

That said, a high RPM 318 putting out 450+ HP, with EFI to calm it down some and a double OD or better trans seems like a really killer deal to me. Good parts, low tension rings, high compression, roller cam, high flow heads, tunnel ram with port injectors and a TB, and an 8HP70 or T56 would make for just a cool ride. Ah, if only I could snap my fingers and make it happen.
