I am not a big fan of putting in that overweight Cast iron engine.  It
destroys all handling and is not all that cheap.  I found that a Rover V8
can be bought for about the same as the Chevy but you can use the old
trans.  The conversion is no more money either.  I am running 275hp in a
3.5 V8 and still can take a corner.  If you want the "American Power "
maybe a Camaro or Monza would be more suited.  BUT  I have seen some nice
conversions and if that is your thing then great.  The number for John's
Cars is 1-800-866-JAGS.  They do a lot of  V8 and V6 conversions.  Seem to
be the authority on the subject.
