Back to the drawing board... stock low dollar 360

I remember years ago Hot Rod magazine had an article called Caddy Hack.
They took an old Cadillac, and started cutting weight out and running it at the drag strip, after cutting a part off.
In the end it was not much more than a steering wheel and a seat.
The e.t. went down, as the weight was removed.
yeah, Mopar magazine did it to a big '63 something... LOL with a 413. They went from 17's down to 12's by cutting the hole thing apart.
