If you add a cool collar you will have enough power!

When I was engine shopping for the crate engine I bought, most of the crate engines the web sites pushed were tons more HP than I wanted. It is easy to drop in a 500 HP or more small block 350. But then the transmission really needs an update. The rear end needs to be swapped out with a lot bigger one. The rear drum brakes have to be replaced with discs. The front disks need to be replaced with much bigger rotors and calipers, and the brake booster and proportioning valve need to be replaced and the steering really needs an upgrade and the suspension needs to be swapped out with a 4 link system. If I wanted to do all that I would just buy a modern car.
