I don't need another project, but I tend to ponder something for years then, when the deal and time hit - buy. (see my prior posts about diesels in Land Rovers).
Anyway, I have a 500 ci Cadillac motor that was in my Studebaker truck, I have 425 heads for it so it'll be (baring a piston swap) a 500 hp/ 600 lb torque motor... all done at 4200 rpm. I will re-ring the motor and put a good cam in it, the heads, I'll probably simply swap valves from the 500 into the 425 heads and do a basic port.... all-in-all, dirt cheap fun.
So what I do I put it in?
*auto or manual, doesn't matter - I have the bits to do either.
