Be smart!
At best your buddies stock 4.6 Mustang probably can do a 0-60 in about 6 seconds. If you listen to a few guys on this board that run 250's with some nice mods, you'll be able to beat that easy.
If you want torque and stoplight acceleration, a 292 turbo or a 292 with head work and dual quads will smoke him good.

Your Chevy II has a nice frame and weight ratio so any inline with over 250 HP should do the trick!

PS-My coupe has a 292 bored .040, 270 cam, ported/polished, 3x2's, Langdon Headers and a T-5 and I guarentee I'll smoke your buddy for the 1/8 all day long!
