i have a 454 BB out of a 76 impala thats been sitting in my garage for about 25 years i was thinking of rebuilding and either turbo or supercharging it and dropping it in my 01 ws6. i was just wondering if i would have any majoir problems with it fitting or if it would fit at all.

you would need motor plates, a really tall hood if carb.ed, and a lot of time, but it can be done. check out the stickies on the bbc/sbc specific forums just below.

I saw a BB in a Trans Am, and boy was it tight. It will take alot of work, and modification but if your willing to do it, go for it!! Check the pics out and tell me that wasent tough 4 that T/a owner!!

why not do it to an old v6 bird instead? it involves the same work, and it's nothing special.

Build an LSX block and a turbo and have a car that will still handle well enough by today's standards.

building a big block for boost and then buying "the boost" is going to be like 9-10K at least.you could build a wicked LS for that and it would weigh less and not look like a matchbox car like that one^^^^^

I didn't think they are all pontiac now, with a Chevy LS1 in them..........



I say, if you have the urge, go for it. The mid 70's big blocks are about all gone. it would be neat to put it to use.


I have a 74 Delta 88 with a 455 just sitting there. I thought about building the 455 and dropping it into my 72 Cutlass. But the Cutlass already has a 68 small block Olds I built and put in, with only 13,000 miles on the rebuild.

But........driving the TA is so much fun, it takes up all my wrenching/tinkering time.


Oh, decisions, decisions. Maybe later.......................
