Apparently RSW did conversions with these where they bored out the engine from 5.3L to 7.0L. Now, I thought the car already had a substantial amount of power for the 1970s, but the 7.0L conversion made about 510 horsepower and 530 LB-FT, a hell of an upgrade from the standard 390 horsepower. That's more than a Lamborghini Countach QV5000, or even the later Diablo. I'm thinking this car with the RSW 7.0L conversion could do like 186-190 mph, though I don't know if anyone would be brave enough to do that.
