That car has a lot of potential, here's a link to a car we sold at work for one of our good customers.

The car was sweet, heads, cam, stock manifolds though... Dyno'd in the 500's on an engine dyno and drove great!
IMO I'd either do something like that to your car, or do a big cube LSx with a Victor Jr. manifold and accufab tb so it looks carb'd, then do N20 a six speed and 4.10's and go cruise.

If you think the chevelle is too slow I'll take it off of your hands. Like stated above a 454 LSX would be very cool, but I'm sure there is still plenty of potential in the current motor. Eiter way I'm sure you'll end up with one fast and good looking chevelle.

Interesting points of view so far! I'm leaning towards a built BBC that still appears stock-ish. Never owned one before, might be fun to play with. I have plenty of other LSX cars already, plus this one started life as a BBC car anyways.
I can always get bored later and slap a twin-turbo LSX under the hood

i own a couple big block cars, and a couple LSX cars. i would do the warhawk block punched to 454 with a carb intake, and not look back once. or even a sheetmetal style intake. just make sure you do some handling upgrades, and some form of a overdrive tranny and call it a day. thats my 2 cents.

if you want it to look stock under the hood, make it a high compression 496, or 468, put a good set of heads on it, a low profile single plane intake, a bluprinted holley double pumper, nice healthy cam, and a good ignition in it. Pain the heads block and intake orange. Then inside that HUGE air cleaner, mount your silenoids for N2O, cover all the exposed stainless lines in vacum hose or fuel line. when someone sees under the hood they will think its just a stock bb with a cam. add some suspension pieces, and your set
