GM already did
Dennis Manner, retired engineer for Buick, told me about it, and even has some of the original specs and dyno information.
it had twin sidedraft carbs, and used an export cam and compression ratio of (8:01) i cant remember the horsepower, but it made 800 lbs/ft of torque i think at 3200 rpm.
they scrapped the idea because during testing, they kept breaking imput shafts in the dynaflows they had mounted behind them....a st 400 might survive.
hope this helps,
jon
