Just a guess

Years ago my mother had a yellow 70 Delta 88 convert with a 455 2 barrel. The thing exploded out of the hole like crazy but ran out of cfm real fast. I would say the car would have run a 16 second 1/4 mile. The 4 bbl engine would probably be in the mid 15's or maybe even better. I'm not sure what the 0-60 but I would guess around 7 seconds?

Put your foot on the brake stab the gas and you will go 0-60 in a couple of seconds. of course your tires will go up in smoke and you won't move. but what the heck.......................... Just kidding

0-60 times for a B/C body are irrelevant. What matters is that you can be going 70 mph and step on it to pass the guy in the Corvette and be going 90 mph before he has time to readjust his hair-piece.

My '69 Delta hardtop with a 455 4bbl, stock went mid 15s. Figure '70 convertible would be a tad slower with a 2bbl and the extra weight. I bet the gearing would have been the same throughout.
