i've seen big blocks in late 80's f-bodies at local car shows. i'm not sure of all the details of how to get it in there, but based on what i've seen it can be done.

Nothing hard about a 454. I started with a 454 and I'm now up to a 540. Anything bigger than that (other than an overbore) means a tall deck block and that creates a bunch of other problems. 572, 632 etc engines.
My car's not street legal so I have a lot more room to play with after gutting so much out of the car.
