I have a 392 hemi with 6 2bbls. I put it in my old 69 modtop barracuda, then you can add a Hemi 4 speed to really confuse some. By the way, you can use 318 engine mounts on a 392 to install it. Then an adapter that costs under 300 to run your 727 and starter. The front ends go to crap quick though.
I'm with you on the security guard sniffing his socks and high on toejam joy juice. Except, I would not of kept people waiting in line. Not for some dickhead anyways. The world is full of them. Just enjoy your ride and let the haters hate. You have true American muscle, and it needs no explanation. Wish oldschool Ken could pull up to that security guard gate.
