I drove a 500+hp 460-powered Thunderbird all through college. It had 11.5/1 pistons and a big cam. Had to run 5 gallons of AV100LL mixed with 21 gal of pump 93.
Air shocks, 295/50/15 tires, and a Traction-Lok 9" rear axle. Big Holley 800 cfm double-pumper and a hi-rise Edelbrock intake.
That thing stopped for nothing but gas stations.
Used to whip Buick Grand Nationals with it.

Plain Jane 318. No sack to speak of, but it sure bellowed like a prehistoric beast.
