8.1L? I don't know if anyone has ever done this, or if it's even possible. I'm sure if it will fit it would be a monster with a little bit of work. 496 cubic inches <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />
I really don't know much about this engine, but surely someone has thought aobut it.

Re: 8.1L? The 496 is based on the old school Chevy Big Block. If you're going to the hassel of doing a big block swap, you might as well do a 502 crate motor, or a 509, or even bigger.
The 422, 427, 434, etc that you hear about in here are all based on the original LS1 or LS6 block. Its physically a much smaller and lighter engine.
