Note that the car has 15" wheels. You would expect a bit of an upgrade on a car with a such expensive engine conversion. 16" phone dials would be the minimum - no?

Right. And it's carburetted not FI, archaic.
GM's LS engines are the way to go if you chose this route.

Having 418 ft lbs of torque at 3,600 RPM sure would smoke those tires and the torque is over 350 ft lbs @ 1,800 !!! will still spin up to 5,700 RPM. max HP is 355@5,400. So pretty much 928 stroker power. Still no way it is worth what they are asking....... and "Rubenesque" is not a compliment
