A friend of mine put a 502 hp 502 CI crate motor in his '88 SS, along with a built 200-4R and a 12-bolt with 3.73s. He got kicked out of E-town on the 1st pass, having run an 11.7x with no cage. The car had not been tuned either.

The 2nd-gen F-car is just about as heavy as the Monte, so I'd get the 502 and tune it. With consistency and tuning, it's a mid-11 second motor. Add spray, and there are your 10s.
