It's hard to beat a long cruiser with lots of cubic inches from a stock engine. It can be done with lots of boost or with cubic money but reliability goes out the window. Built a 51 GMC with a 472 Cadillac that got worn out at 200K and now has a what was fresh 500ci with about 170K on it. Could jump in it right now and drive anywhere it wouldn't have to swim. With a good p/s set up and more caster it will track so straight you could set the cruise and take a nap in the bed. Remember, 300mph dragsters have straight axles and they go pretty straight.
