they are pretty heavy engines though, i dont see why you would want one in a firebird.
the aluminum block 5.3L would be a much better truck engine than a 454 for your application. its more related to the LS1

mabey but wouldnt the added weight to the front tires make it corner alot better? also there is an old saying. there is no replacement for displacement.
