It's not the engine as much as two things:
High speed is accomplished by using high rear-end gearing and/or extra gears in the tranmission (4th and 5th).
Acceleration si affected negatively, however. To increase acceleration you need torque.
A 350 would do it with a good bit of massaging (mostly headword) but for big torque you can't beat a 454. Even slightly massaged that beast can smoke tires and run all day well over a hundred.
Gas milage will totally suck.
I don't recommend driving so fast on public roads, by the way. Those other cars aren't obstacles to be avoided like a video game.
