I'm helping a buddy put together a 327 for his 64 pick up. Dispite it having a 4 speed, a similar build would net you some where around 450hp and 400ftlbs tq. It would be a little "peaky" do to the lack of cubes and the bigger cam required, but with the right converter in the car it would move pretty darn well. Will it lift the front tires with out a 3 speed auto and steep gears, probably not. Put a forged bottom in it and spray a healthy shot of N20 through it and you might be able to get one tire off the ground a couple inches, but nothing huge.

Details of his set up:
327 .060 over
Patriot heads
Comp 918 springs installed at 1.80"
1.5 roller rockers
236/242 .585/.540 110 intake center/110 exhaust center "roller cam"
Super Victor intake
750 vacum carb
