As for a big block fitting in a third gen....its being done more often than one would think. There are several cars out there with Pontiac 400s in them. Also the world's Fastest street legal car (at least in europe) has a seriously modded big block V8 in it. Its a third gen Trans Am that was built by Polly Motorsports.

Oh, I know that there are a lot of BB third gens out there. Not a huge deal. But it requires some shoehorning, and I'm guessing the V12 is longer- which would put it further under the cowl, thus moving the firewall further back. Which IMO is more than a little sheet metal work. I think it's an awesome idea and I'd love to see you do it... just pointing out a potential hang up.
I think doing an AWD Camaro would be cool to do as well.
Post up in the Resto-Fab section if you want to hack it out in more depth.
