I'm sure this won't meet my payload needs, but if I *ever* have one of those mid-life crisis things, this would be a great way to start one.

I couldn't afford to keep tires on that car (not that I could even afford the car itself...)

an NHRA certified 0-60 mph time of 2.3 seconds
As a point of reference the top ten fastest production cars off the line (0-60 times)...

2014 Porsche 918 Spyder - 2.2 sec
2016 Tesla Model S P100D w/Ludicrous+ Update - 2.28 sec
2017 Bugatti Chiron - 2.3 sec
2015 LaFerrari - 2.4 sec
2006 Bugatti Veyron and Veyron Super Sport - 2.5 sec
2016 Porsche 991 Turbo S - 2.5 sec
2015 Lamborghini Huracán - 2.5 sec
2015 Tesla Model S P90D w/Ludicrous Upgrade - 2.6 sec
2014 McLaren P1 - 2.6 sec
2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus - 2.6 sec

That's some pretty elite company.

I couldn't keep the rear tires on my '70 SS396 with only 350 horsepower...no way I could afford the special tires on this beast...but even at my old age, would still like to take it down the quarter mile once.

I wonder if I could do an engine swap into a 2500?

You can get part way there without a swap....

Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger Kits for 5.7L/6.1L/6.4L HEMI | JEGS

If I have a little extra cash burning a hole in my pocket in the future I have considered this for our 6.2 L in our F250. Would make towing a bit more fun!

I suspect the only reason you cannot tow with it is the unibody..
