Slightly insane idea...
Maybe its just because I'm sick and I am not thinking straight. But I have a 91 Firebird with a tired TBI, and a 69 Caddy with a running 472 that I'm sick of having sit idle in a garage.
It then hit me that the 472 is quite the monster. Could I put it in the 'bird without a ton of fabrication and money? I know it would need a rebuild before placed there, but aside from that, would there be a ton of stuff I'd need to mess with, or could I drop it in without it costing an arm and a leg, and without cutting up the firewall, etc?

Its one of the most difficult and costly swaps you can do - there are a couple members that have put 500 Caddys into their cars. Not cheap or easy by any stretch.
