Can't you coax 300 hp out of one of these with an exhaust and some cheap heads? (And some 454 injectors for your kicking rad TBI) Granted that is no LS swap but probably the best you can do without destroying the lowest cost engineered rear.

Best G body though is the 1980 Buick Century fastback coupe.

Here is an Aerocoup near me for sale not even that terrible.

Yes. Longtube headers, a basic performance carb and intake, and a cheap set of vortec heads will run about $1200-1500 and probably get you 60HP at least.


That said, you can get a junk truck 4.8/5.3 motor for $500 or so.
