    there are a few v8s that would theoretically mate directly to your stock transmission.. problem would be that our stock trans is only meant for up to 285 ft lbs of torque.. anything over that and you are going to probably cause some damage..

    the possible engines would be the
    4.0L v8 from an olds Aurora
    4.1, 4.5 and 4.9L pushrod v8s from caddy
    4.5L northstar v8 from caddy

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.
