Actually those Buick Aluminum V8s were raced in the Indy 500, in lots of rally cars and in several British and Australian sports cars, they are very capable of going fast.

Buick V6s were also raced in the Indy 500, and Stage 1 455s are just beasts.

I ran a Rover V8 in a '76 Skyhawk, had a turbo V6 Regal and had a stage 1 in a '74 Regal, all went fast.

But yea it's easier to build up an LS, I get it.
