The old Chevelles had a full frame. I don't see why they couldn't add a few mods to handle the extra twist. 1K HP? I doubt it but I'm sure its a monster. What cracks me up is that most times, these street hot rods have plenty of power but not enough brakes.
So why do it? The same reason VW built the Veyron: to prove it can be done. Great to bring to the local car club shows for bragging rights with the fellows...
I had a `67 Chevelle with a 396/375 HP 4 bolt main Vette engine (that was worked 30 overbore, solid lifter high rise cam), 456 gears... It could light up 15x10s at any speed in any gear. I was 20 yo and cruising but 5 MPG wasn't any fun.
