cid doesn't have that much to do with what will fit. a 427 sbc will fit a lot easier than a 427bbc and the cid is the same, or a 454 vs 502 will take up the same amount of space. be a lot of extra work to make a bastard engine swap work when you could use gm parts a lot easier and cheaper

Why on earth would you want to do that?
Either trade it for a Chevy 454, or buy an old Dodge Dart to put the 440 in!(a little Dart would be scary with a big block)

I like his idea put the 440 in a dart or barracuda.
Get a 400 pontiac for your firebird instead!

They used to sell Demon Dart 426 Hemi ready to race. Wish I would have been around then.
