Would make for a nice little conversion.  Might need a bit of a bonnet mod though.

Will that do for you Sir?    Any thing else Sir?   ;D ;D :y

Or would you rather slip in a Z06 Engine

LS7 Crate Engine

The king of all Corvettes is the amazing 2006 ZO6.
It tops out at 198 mph,
runs the quarter mile in 11.5 seconds at127 mph,
and hits 60 mph in a jaw-dropping 3.5 seconds (in first gear).


All of that performance is the result of superior GM engineering and an engine we call the LS7, the most technologically-advanced small-block ever built. A natural continuation of the LS Family, the LS7 uses a 7.0-liter aluminum dry-sump block, CNC-ported cylinder heads, and titanium rods and valves to pump out 505 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. Talk about efficient, the LS7 helps the 2006 ZO6 get over 28 mpg while still being the fastest Corvette ever produced! Is this the Chevy small-block in its highest form? Only you can decide, and GM Performance Parts has made it that much easier by offering the already legendary LS7 as a complete crate engine, ready to bolt into your favorite project car.

LOL Bit like talking about the most technically advanced Mangle ever built but perhaps a few cubes makes up for that.  ;)

Not that it has anything in common with the old small blocks other than the fact its a V8!

I rather like this one:

(http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/part_images/17802896.jpg)

A nice Northstar!

469hp and 439ft-lb of tourque
You want the ultimate in high-tech GM technology with the refinement that only Cadillac can bring you? Well, you are looking at your next project engine in our LC3 4. 4L supercharged, 32-valve, DOHC V-8! The amazingly efficient (1. 65 hp/cubic inch) LC3 takes the small-block V-8 to the extreme in performance, reliability, and quality. The keys to all of this are the roots-style supercharger, GM's variable valve timing valve train, and 4. 4 liters of gentlemanly power. Simply put, Cadillac's new supercharged Northstar 4.
