 SBC SBF? too much weight  for rear ....  the kinky novelty would wear off 

 pretty quick  .....consider one of the several aluminum 4 cyl  engines 

 available  ...  a Cobalt with a turbo would be so so trick .. but would 

 require  some brain twisting ... oh, and some money ... did I mention 

 money?

 Why not use a Rover (Land Rover) V8? they are the same as the Buick/Olds  

 215 V8 but cast different and some of them are stroked for more CID.  
There  

 is a 'Vair in L.A.  with the 215 in it and the weight balance is quite  

 good; handles well.

Seeing as how 'Vair owners are somewhat tightfisted, the 215  can be had 
for much less than the LS series and might not have too much loss in  
performance.l
