We ran one in the mid '70's in a B/A that was 379" and it regularly went over 9 grand!
It took me a long time to become a WJ fan, and now I'm sorry I was'nt one sooner.

Back in 77-78 I worked in a shop with Richie Zul who was building Bob Ingles Pro Stock motors for a while. He was using the 348 cranks in a 396 block, the CI was 360 or 366 I think. The dyno pulls were in the 8,000 range I seem to remember a little over 500 flb in torque and a hair under 800 in HP. I did a lot of the block prep and boring but Zul did every inch of the heads and manifold with his bare hands. We had a home made flow bench, but it did the job.
