1982 Oldsmobile Nine Eight Engine Swap 307 to 455??

Hi -
I'm ready for some ideas.. I have a 1982 Olds Nine Eight Coupe with 116,000 miles on her. I had the car for about two years now (second owner ) and I'm ready to start planning to put a new motor in it. The 307 just doesn't do it for me anymore so I'm looking for some more power for the big heavy Nine.
From talking to some people some say put a 455 Olds Rocket 68-70 engine with the E heads. Others tell me to put a Buick 430 Engine in it.
Any ideas??? Any known engine swaps for this particular car? And does anybody have any engines for sale or know of anyone or a reliable site for a good price engine??

The 455 Olds is a good choice, natural swap.
