Somebody on the list ( sorry, can't think of who right now ) knows Butch
LaTeer who runs two of them in a streamliner--see the BonnevilleWF article
in the Feb 04 of Hot Rod.

I think Hot Rod Mag also had a detailed article on low cost mild-to-wild
mods of those engines ( with 500HP/ 600FTLBS easy to get)---check their
on-line archives, about 5 years back or less.
