There is a 68 in town with a 350 vette set-up with same vette running gear and 
it
took a LOT of engineering including moving the firewall back and removing inner
fenders. You can get a better power to weight ratio with any number of other 
swaps
for a lot less hassle. My 4 cylinder gets down the road at 0-60 in 4.0 seconds 
and
120 in the 1/4
