Ok, a little more back figuring. IF you could get the 114hp. You could look at W, car would weigh, minimum, 2906lbs. You're looking at 125 or so hp to run the 16.65 index. I'm kicking this around in my head, seems an anemic 200 could make 125hp? Here again, I don't know this engine. How much cam has it got? How crappy is the intake/carb? Factory hp is 85, it has to be pretty restrictive.

Here again, a good budget C4, a small converter. Some gear and a set of tires that would work. You could start out with a set of drag radials like I've done with my Achieva. At least starting out, you shouldn't kill the tranny and rear end. Pretty sure you could find some kind of headers.

I may be way off base here, fun excersize. Then again, the 302 might be the better way to go.
