True,
So he's either going to
1) Sell it
2) Wait for someone to state the obvious--
Drop it in the 3rdGen F body, PITA if it's a tall deck but do able.
3) Put in a truck.

Re: 496 BBC
I look at my 89 Bird everyday and look at the engine...trust me I've thought about it...it does stand pretty tall so I'd need a new hood
Things it would need are new internals...it was set up for LP so it burns much cooler than Gasoline. everything would melt
new intake manifold as well as all the electronics to go with it...
intake plumbing, assuming I keep the turbocharger on the engine.
basically rebuild the engine from the block up XD
