If your goal is to be different and have torque, I'd go the v-8 Olds route. With the grunt of the 425 you can run a highway friendly gear 2.7-3 and still have get up and go, and run an inexpensive TH400 setup. That motor will make torque from 2000 on so you can run a nice tight converter, and motor around happily on the street.

that's my v8 biased $.02
