Default should I do it?

I got a 94 z28 LT1 with all the goodies in the motor, t-56 swap, runs good. I got the $, can anyone give me a reason not to put the chevy 572 in it. I know no one in my area or any were close to hear has done it, so it should turn some heads at local cruzes. yes, no, maybe. give my your thoughts

An ls7 would be better or a nicely built 502. i still say ls7 just for the ease of it and the obvious potential power plus a lot less weight then a bbc. or try a 454 LS2

I think you'll beat yourself up for doing it. Buy a small car and drop it in there, like an old Z, 80s Volvo, obviously something RWD. Or FWD if you want to be unique. Get a 6T65E and put it in a Cavalier lol A buddy is going to try and find a FWD SB Dodge tranny and do that to a Intrepid. If not, it has the tunnel for RWD and he'll do that.

the ZL1 concept by Moss back in the early 90's had an aluminum BBC, so it is possible.....
