    Open the hood and throw all your money in there.:rofl2:

    Really it is possible but you'd have to do a whole lot of work to it. Possibly a turbo. And strip about everything out of the car. It would be different but it'd be a lot easier to start with a 347. You'd have to have an all out race car and the first time it grenaded. You'd be crying. I know I would. The 347 would take less to run and would last a lot longer. After 11's you start breaking stuff anyway and it gets expensive.:)

    1. Spend upteen thousands of dollars on the six. It MIGHT run 10s
    2. Pull out the six. Drop in a v8. Spend about a third(maybe less?) to run 10s
