Man, good luck.

I was fortunate enought to take Autoshop this summer (just graduated) and I helped a man named Carlos drop a 455 into his Buick GS....I don't know much about it cept that we put edelbrock carbs, Hooker headers, and titanium valves/lifters on it. The project took a little over a month for us to complete, but when it was done and we fired it up, it shot 3 ft. flames out of the carb and the backfire set off car alarms 200 ft. away. Damn near popped my ear drums. Once we got the engine to fire correctly (we had the spark plug wires out of order, lol), that thing sounded AMAZING, like nothing I have ever heard in my entire life. It was scary, honestly.

So yea, I believe that 2 block burnout (this guy had 245's on the back) because I saw something similar to it. It also had no exhaust(but at least headers), and I seriously doubt you taking it from a standing start if he hooks. I now have personal experience with it (dropping it in was tough, but damn fun), and I am just rambling on now because I have nothing more to say besides GET IT ON TAPE!
