Apsolutely positively NO. They are school bus, dump truck motors and need to stay that way. They are tall decks so certain parts will be a little more expensive and harder to pick up used. It's all about money in and what you get back. On that light of a car, I'd do a 350/350 combo. Cheap parts for days and a weight savings.
