Default 514 Stroker too much for a muscle car?

Hello everyone of Club Cobra, I am brand new to your club. This seems to be a great source of information; so here goes.

I am in the very early stages of R&D for a Mustang project. I know this is a Cobra Forum, but thought some of you wouldn't mind shedding some light on a 67 Fastback project.

I am planning on redoing a GT and replacing the original 390 FE. The 514 stroker seems to be a lot of bang for the buck, but my question is. Is 600+hp/tq to much for a street bound muscle car? The cost and power of this engine make it very attractive, seeing how I don't want to break the bank on the engine alone, but also do not want to sacrifice fire breathing power.

So is this engine too over the top for an everyday street bound muscle car?

Thanks for listening; I look forward to your replies.
