Yeah but how many go to that extent with a Nasty 904? I've blown up more 904s and replaced them with 727s than you can shake a stick at.
This is normal driving, never had a race or street/strip car. I was happy (and quite surprised) to discover that my newest (to me) D150 came with a/6 and a 727!!! My 1st couple of vehicles were a 76charger SE and a 75 Cordoba back in the 80s both 360/904 2 barrel carbs and both wound up with 727s in them. And those were just the start.
I do have an A500 here (yeah I know 904 based) that I may tempt fate with and "build up" if I can find a adapter to put a SB trans behind the/6.
