 Bob,
The Buick is a good choice with one drawback-you have to raise the rear
deck about 3.5" depending on what fuel system you use. The power,
torque, cost, parts and maintenance availability, and adrenaline rush
make it a worthwhile project. If I were to do another swap, the Subaru 4
turbo or the 3.3L 6 would be my choice. Both are hard to find, though.
