in all respect, i love muscle cars and mostly chryslers.
but a 440 might be a bit much for your lil 71.
it does seem like a perfect combo, big motor+lightweight body would be perfect for a 1/4 mile car. but like people have mentioned, the steering is gonna be a little rediculous.
its not like you need a whole lot of steering for a dragster.
but if you seriously want a dragster, id go out and buy a plymouth duster and put the 440 in that. just cuz its a mopar and you wouldnt have to do too much fab work to get it to fit in there and its lightweight aswell.
but its up to you. id personally go for something a little better than a celica for a 440 canidate. but if you want to suprise us all and go for it. have at it.
but if you do so, id love to see pics of the whole build up
