Its a heavy engine, makes about 365-400 hp. Has high compression heads that
require prem gas and octane booster. It came in Thunderbitds and Merc
Marquis lux-o-barge land yachts.

Speed parts are not easy to get.

I don't see an upside, you can built a cleveland to 600 hp, it weighs less
and not upset the balance of the car.

Just my 2 cents.
