I'd get the motor to build a Boss clone, but you would really hate to drive a car with that motor. It's like driving a Kenworth truck around town, you never get in the power band, and when you do, you've already ran out of road.
Now, if you put a Eaton blower on it, it would be much better around town. You'd have the mid-range that you'd be looking for. As a mild street motor, it just wouldn't be any fun to drive anywhere but Road America or something.
Powerwise, it would be about a 350-375rwhp motor. except your power curves would look like this: ........../`\
Peak power would come about 6000-6200, which would be ok, but from 1500-4500 you wouldn't see over 200hp. That's my guess anyway. Daily driver, no. Drag car, no. Kick *** show car, yes. Bragging rights, hell yeah!
Hope this helps some. Later.
