All reports mention 7000 rpm, 0-60 in 4.2sec and 150 top end. I read those figures and I think, that’s what I want (assuming it's driveable!).
So....if that is not achievable, then please post "That is not achievable. Compromise, and move on!"

John Christie, who wrote that first report was a dear pal of Shel's and was being very supportive of the fledgling effort for an all-new sports car.
It was very common in the day for ringer motors and popcorn times to help new marketing-like the 389 GTO, elephant Hemis, and a million GM projects like the Z-28 and 396, 427, 454 cars.
Consider building a brand-new, 49 year-old project or a modern project which will truly add to your enjoyment of your work. There's really no comparison.
