   Seems like I recall someone posting on the list not too long ago who
dropped a 360 into his 4x4 and was in the 13's. I think it may have been a
crate motor. By my calculations, you'd need about 325hp to run 13.99 in a
4500lb vehicle. (generalizing here) The 380hp crate motor would more than
satisfy that requirement. (Generalizing again, the same calculations with
380hp put a 4500lb vehicle at about 13.30)
