Thats an original idea, but... how in God's name would you fit a 502 in an f-body??? GM had enough trouble trying to fit a 350 in there

There's a member on here with a silver LT1 f-body who put a nitrous-huffing BBC in it. Don't know how he did it, or how much power it makes, but the video he posted of it launching at the track is ****ing insane 
He also has pics of it too... i'll see if i can find it.

That's MEATHEAD and has a 540 BBC in a 95. If you search under his name you'll find some good info. You'll also find a good thread by rich krause last july/august about dropping a BBC in a 4th gen.

I would say go with a C5R Engine or the LS1 Twin Turbo from Lingelfelter. Maybe you could try a Twin Hayabusa engine. I Heard about that in a magazine. 2.6L or maybe go all the way to 3.0L and Rev to 15k. That would be a totally different direction in your project. Good Luck with What ever you do.

Drop in a stock engine, clean the car up and sell it. Use what you have left, and any proceeds from the sale of the car, towards a clean used 00-02 LS1 Z28 or TA. Just my $0.02

540CID BB@900HP on motor and thats a MILD one.
OR a 572 crate engine@800HP on pump gas and a MILD one.
They aren't bad to install.

like racer said, you could build a slightly more powerful engine for a few bucks less, but this one comes with a warranty.

unstable bob is selling a 396 with dominion 32 valve heads for 10 Gs. Only problem is he never got it running. Check out the thread in the for sale section.
