The Northstar has the starter motor under the intake manifold and would probably be 'unpleasant' to service.
I drive a 90 DeVille. Aluminum V8, advertised hp is 180. It does a good job pulling the big car around. Allante used a more powerful version of the motor, if you can find one. Mine is prone to develop oil leaks but I always thought it would make a great hot rod motor. Interested in what you decide to do. Keep us informed.
