I always wanted a Ralleye350, but as I got into a financial position to actually afford something like that, their prices just skyrocketed and stayed out of reach

.
I also have a 70 98LS Holiday Sedan w/ its original 455/TH400. Body's starting to go, but the drivetrain is sweet.

That's quite the collection. I used to want a toronado for a cruiser but I can't deal with the MPG

By all means.
Look through vBGarage. These are the people that I can recall who broke 250wheel on stock motors:
Ben
Y8s
FoundSoul
I know these guys got close, but don't think they did it:
brgracer
olderguy
These guys are around 300wheel, with built motors:
AndyFloyd
MarkP
Search through their builds and see what it takes. There might be others, but I can't think of any right now.

friend of mine, not on here, has slightly more than 290 whp on stock internals, and had so for years and years, went through 3 trannies and still on first motor (1.8 BTW)
250 ish should not be a problem if you take care of it...

We'll see what happens though, it'll be later in next summer probably before I even have a setup running. I'm not worried
