Smile 98 Camaro

I'm about to finally be a proud camaro owner. I've been wanting one for years and have come across a deal I just can't pass up. There is one issue. Its a v6 body, no engine or trans. I have access to a plethora of (chevy & ford)engines and trannys. BUT -

My number one question is, what is the biggest engine to have been placed in that hole? Don't care for a/c or p/s, I have a daily driver for that.

I was considering that, but I have a buick 455 stage 1 ready right now. Did a bit more reading and found people talking about a donovan 5. I haven't gone that far into big motors, but that seems to stretch my pocket book.

The Buick 455 is a hell of a torque monster that motor would pull the car.But i don't know how much work it would take or what is available for the conversion.

Do an LSX block if you want cubes.

I think the sky's the limit as far as that goes. What do you plan to do with this car? DD, track car only, cruiser? I would think that would affect your decision the most.
