I had a similar car - it was a V8 transplant into a small car, 330hp and around 2200 lbs, professionally built and done right.
I had fun with it for several years, esp. during the first year, but eventually got bored with it. No problem with the handling, etc., in fact no problems or real mechanical complaints at all.
I think for me, at the end of the day, the SBC just isn't "me." I think it's a fine engine, it just doesn't have the right feel to me.
And, there is not much use for that much power and acceleration on the street. I have a LOT more fun in my stock old G50 Carrera, where I can actually redline the car every now and then, push it and feel like I'm working it a bit without totally trashing speed and sanity laws. And it just sounds/feels a lot better to me.
As a race car on a track, my car would have been a blast. On the street, it was fun, but it was so limited that it ended getting boring.
