Use the Buick engine just the way it is it's rated 360 hp 500 torq put a Edelbrock manifold on it and it's the same weight as a sbc with the cast manifold. There are a lot of hope up goodys to for the Buick big blocks,i am getting ready to install a dual quad setup on mine and have a tunnel ram waiting.
