Well, the 70 hardtop could be ordered with the 428 Super Cobra Jet with the Drag Pac. You planning more torque than that?
 
If you follow through with weld-on subframe connectors, the 70' body will handle 400hp even with drag slicks at the track. On the street with street type tires, it will handle more.

400hp at the wheels should be a walk in the park for a 408w with a good set of aftermarket heads.
