While GM quit offering big-block engines in their cars once they downsized in the late 70's, a big-block will fit under the hood of something like an 80's Monte Carlo SS. I'm not sure how much work it would take to make it fit, but I have seen it done!
IIRC, Pontiac never offered a "true" big-block...they just had their basic 389 "medium" block that could be stroked, bored, have the deck raised, etc, but a 326, 350, 389, 400, 421, 428, and 455 are all the same basic block. So are the later 301 and 265 V-8, although those engines were lightened considerably on the inside, and just weren't very sturdy.
