302 or 460 build up

[N T]

Gosh the 460 [actually a 7.5] is a little bit much for a "light" car! :)
Sure would be fun to drive though. The constant replacement of melted tires
would get expensive <laughing>.

Why not consider a 351? The 351 is a bit more durable than a 302, and the
last time I drove a 351 I sure noticed quite a bit more low end than a 302.
