    i know there was a guy in Alabama who was putting 455's in Camaro's.

    i have no idea if a Fox Body has enough space between the shock towers for a big block. i think if you've got at least 32" between the towers it might happen:

    If you do that, you'd be my hero! The only thing that would **** more people off than that would be a GN V6 Turbo in a NSX. Post pics when done!

    believe it or not i have actually thought about trying to get some ford valve covers to fit. that would set it off just need to get the 2.3 out and start trying to see if it will fit.

    I like it! Hopefully you can stuff it in there. As far as valve covers you could always get a set of cast aluminum covers and have FORD milled into them. If you are handy with a TIG welder you could take a set of FORD valve covers and cut out the FORD and weld that to your aluminum Buick covers. There are ways to make it happen
