Anything is possible if you have the budget, Turbocharging could be much easier and less costly, with 15K you can put 600 @ the wheels, good luck.

The Chevelle... Especially if it has a solid lifter engine like the L78 396 or the LS6 454.
The Chevelle was built from 1964 to 1977. After 1977 the Chevelle name was dropped and all "Chevelles" were called Malibus after that. The most popular year for the Chevelle is 1970 thanks to the LS6 engine option. the LS6 is a 454 CID V8 rated (grossly under rated) at 450 HP, and it was the highest rated factory installed, regular production ever built at the time. It held that record for decades. 1970 is the ONLY year the LS6 engine was available, and the Chevelle was the ONLY model it was ever installed in.
you could get the 454 but I don't remember the LS-6 being offered in the monte.
