454 BigBlock in 92 FIrebird
I am just needing a simple yes/no answer. Will a 454 BB fit w/o any clearance problems other than maybe needing a cowl hood or something into a 92 Firebird. I heard the only thing I may have to worry about would be strut towers, but I want to know if it'll fit and clear these. Someone out there has to know

It will bolt right in with no problems... what you will have to worry about is the exhaust. Other than that it will clear with no problems.

Since you only want a yes or no answer, then the answer is no. The biggest fit issue is with the headers, but there is more to it than that. The info is on my page about the swap.

The 454 will fit but I wouldn't recommend it.
It would be much better to stick with a small block. You can get plenty of power with a small block. The extra weight of the big block will really have a negative effect on the handling and braking of your car.
