Welcome to the boards.

You'll find this subject has been beat to death.

In fact, at the very top of this page, is a "sticky" post about somebody swapping a 455 into their car. It's the same thing of course, once you peel away all of the "torque monster" and "real Pontiac power" and all of that crap from it, and plant your feet firmly back on solid reality. In that post are links to other posts on the same subject. It's really a quite popular swap; almost as popular as putting a big block in one of these cars.
