My dad bought a totally rusted out crap 70 something pontiac car (not one of the muscle cars) for a low mileage good running 400.

I've never done it, but he's done it a few times.

What year is the burb? I think the only thing you need would be "big block motor mount towers." I think they're different than V-8 towers and straight six towers (which also differ from each other.) I know you can put a small block in the "I-6" position, it just puts the dizzy close to the firewall.
