Buddy of mine has a FB385 in a Pro Street (almost Pro Touring) '84 T/A. He has been contemplating putting in one of the regular gas 572's in it for uite some time. Lat I heard, he was gonna do it, but I haven't talked to him about it in a while, I'll let you know what he does.

You can buy 632's for little over 20,000 dollars. 1020 dyno hp on 91 octane Then you can put nitrous on it if you want lol.

like he said, any BB will fit, w/ modifications. I've seen a viper engine in a 3rd gen too. So.. ya.. BIg blocks & viper engines are the biggest so far i'd say.

I'd like to see a 706 or 768 or maybe evein 800(only heard about them) in a 3rd gen. then blow it & nitrous... have over 2 grand hp & torque easy. rip the car apart on takeoff, :-P.

But ya..i hate this saying, but it's true. Anything's possible with the right amount of time and money.
