Are you looking for price ranges or something? Not sure what your are looking for in your post?

"sleeper" and "big block" do not go together when dealing with a II.

To make the car strong enough (and safe enough) for a big block, it's going to need some pretty serious chassis work, likely to include a cage.

A decent body is always a good buy, if it's cheap enough.

I agree with cobraman.( sleeper+big block in a II = racecar )If you want a sleeper, why not replace that 6 with an svo v-6 bored and stroked to 302 cubes? Just think of the massive weight savings to begin with.

Putting a "big block" into a II will require major modifications to the car.

My suggestion would be to build a nice potent stroked small block if you want to retain the factory look of the car. It will be just as fast, and better handling.

Ouch !

Seriously, the largest engine size you would want would be a 351W.
They can be stroked, and can handle other power adders.
