Your stock motor could be reliable at 500+whp, if you never actuate the gas pedal and drive gently
It is also a 30 year old iron block low compression engine with sloppy internals that can forgive a lot of stress that tighter tolerance engines can't. There were loads of engines back then that could take power but they were not mentioned in movies so don't have the same legends around them.
