Default How fast is a 28' with a single 496 MAG HO?

Hey guys how fast is a 28' Pantera with a single 496 Mag HO? Also what RPM and speed would it cruise at? There was a nice all white one with that power for sale years ago, also how much does a 28' weigh with a single big block.
Thanks

28AT will pull 65-ish with a 496HO. I'd expect a 28 Pantera straight bottom to be a tick or two faster since it not as tall and ought to be a bit lighter.

My 28 AT is 2 mph faster than a 28 pantera with the same power. 28 pantera with a 525 runs 71 mph. I bet your looking at 62-63 mph with a 496 ho. I turn a lab bed 26p so you're probably looking at a 23-24 p
