With a bit of imagination, you can more or less put any engine in any car. Some are combinations are easier than others though.

Thank you for replying, can you recommend any cars to put the engine in? I have $10,000. I like Novas but im not sure if i will have to pay alot of money to get additional parts. Yet again, may be another stupid question smile

What do you want to use the car for?

1. Street cruiser?
2. Street/strip?
3. Full time racer?

Big block has same mounting points and bellhousing as small block Chevy - but will drive line be up to it? - will you be able to see over the top of the blower? - is the engine really 1000 HP? More like 600/700

Oh that's easy! What is your fave car? Stick it in that! Fibre glass hotrod, rusty american muscle, euro saloon anything!!

At a guess, as you are in the Yanks section you want it in an american motor.. (not sure how I pieced all this together to be honest) haha

Really it just depends on if you can do the work yourself or have/know someone that can do it!

I think id stick it in a 50's pickup truck perhaps a F100, that would be pretty mean!
