Yeehaa!
I just scored! Traded a nice 13B rotary engine for a 1988 Pontiac GTA 
It's been in stored inside for the past 3 years, got it less the original 305 engine (oh darn
), but the rest of the car is beautiful! Burgundy with red interior, automatic, 3.73 posi with 4-wheel disc. Can you say crate engine? Even came with all the engine manifolds and stuff that belong to the car! I am way past pumped...

A minor concern...
It's actually not as bad as you think. I can put in a womper-stomper SB under the stock injection, as long as it looks good, has all the parts, and passes emissions. Heck, they even have ARB certified long tube headers now. Granted, you have skip the 6-71 blower if you want register it. I have SB 400 that I'll use late aftermarket heads on, or buy a good crate.
As for the SD455, THAT would take some surgery!
I also want to keep it restorable. It's a very nice car and I don't want to cut it. I still remember when my BOSS was worth very little. I paid $1000.00 for it and drove it home.

Too big!
I'm tellin' 'ya, those Indians are just too BIG, darn it. If it makes you feel better, I may put a Vette engine in it. I'm just finishing a '63 300hp 327 clone (all the right stuff, just different engines) that gonna rock. Finish porting the heads and she's done. Love that 2dr Bonneville! She'd sell in a heartbeat out here...
