Yeah, but the thing is probably pushing 4500 lbs with the big 390 and all the rat turds. And the specs on a stock 390 with the 2v carb is only about 265 BHP. That's about 17lb per hp.
Years ago I owned a 1970 Buick Electra 225 with a 455 2v. That car would stand still like it had a line lock while I smoked the rear wheel (I think it was limited slip). I was young and had a blast abusing that old car until I threw a rod right through the oil pan. It didn't take too long.
