Very unknown topic it seems, I was wondering if you had any statistics on this thing, range, ceiling, speed, etc.

That is in fact the Convair design from 1966. Bell in the early 70's just used it as a convenient starting point for this study of hypersonic cooling systems. See: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/general-dynamics-convair-hypersonic-transport-designs.323/
