Be more specific. How heavy is the car, is it a street/strip car, etc.

anything is possible but a better question is why? when you can get a BB to do it much cheaper and easier and you won't have to spinn the doo doo out of it.

Probably not going to happen with a stock block A/LA. You would have to make at least 600 horsepower to get all that weight moving.

Sure you can do that. Can do it with cast iron heads and a ThermoQuad if you had to. Just depends if you're willing to work that hard or not.

That is something you never see B body with a small block and then running 10s that would be awesome

not really my 67 coronet was 3850 w/ me and 1/2 tank of gas as raced. a 68-70 B-body is going to be just as heavy I'd think.

The coronet and my plump self with 1/2 tanks of gas weigh in at a healthy 3940 lbs!

yeah I am around 185 and I think this 70+me+1/2 tank is going to be close to that if not more. thses 70's are at least 6" longer than 68-69's. and they have that BIG wrap around bumper.

According to my trusty Moroso power Calculator ( used improperly of course ), with your weight ( 3800 lbs.) you will need to make 535HP at the rear wheels to run 10.80. That would be a little over 600HP at the flywheel. That would be a mighty stout normally asperated 360 - basically not streetable - IMO. A 150 HP nitrous system would probably allow you to drive it around the block.
