I suppose a follow-up question could be: how well will it handle with the stock T-bars and 440 in there?

All the posters are absolutely right...it sure can be done...but will it handle, will it be a street car that you have to adjust to as you shift between your daily driver and your project car, or are we talking here 1/4 mile cars that go 'straight'????

Put it this way, my coupe is completely re-done, all new parts, including Koni 5-way adjustable shocks (front & rear). They are a day & night difference as compared to a stock or even HD shocks. Yet, there I am with a 360 block up-front (iron heads) and boy, that front-end likes to 'float'. Already have the replacement K-frame biscuits too.

So...I like a car that handles like it's on 'rails'...LOL...and a stock T-bar isn't going to get you moving in that direction!
