The low deck 470 in my B body car was a fairly inexpensive motor to build. Unported Edelbrock heads, Performer RPM intake, Eddy 800 cfm carb, Mopar Perf .528 solid cam, etc.
With the HP exhaust manifolds and a 3 inch exhaust system it would spin 475 RWHP on the chassis dyno all day long. That is more rear wheel horsepower than a lot of Vettes, Vipers, Mustangs, etc.
That engine idled at 800 rpm with plenty of vacuum and drove around town pretty easily. Compression was 10.5 so it ran just fine on pump gas premium.
475 RWHP will put a B body deep into the 11's if a person has the chassis setup correctly. My car would run low 12's at 115 mph on radial street tires when I took it to the track.
 just think how well it would run with headers and a good carb, like a double pumper!
