if you put the engine on the 6 banger mounts it will move a little of the weight towards the rear, a 450 horse small block with a small hit of juice, maybe in second gear and threw the traps, will make it into the 12s. the 12 bolt...in good shape can handle some 10 inch slicks..enuff to get some decent 60 foot times...you have to remember your trying to push a garage door down the track at 108 MPH...if you want to see a great example of a rear set up..look at 68prosteet's web site it is truly sweet, im so jealous
