Like right in the heart of the parabola of the masses of vehicals on the road. That Nova, is way out on the end - there's like none on the streets. I would eyeball that Nova if it did have a I6 - that's a cool old car and I never see those.
I had thoughts of putting a 13b turbo in a chevette. Guess what; I'm not going to fool anyone - when was the last time you saw a Chevette?
The problem is, that by the time one buys a common car for a fair price with specific intent of modding, it's already old. Then by the time you chop out the crumby fwd and sort out a rwd chassis that you can hide some serious power(350-500hp depending on weight), we pretty much got a car that is at least a decade old, probably older.
It's pretty much a dead horse anymore; the sleeper. If you got car guys, they're gonna wanna know what's under the hood and spot the ques like tires, lope, and exhaust. If its road rage drivers, it's only gonna take a common fast car to get your lane and get away from them - nothing that needs built.

How about this little monster for a sleeper:
