$1000 are u high? im assuming you’d have one of these shops fab a turbo setup… have them swap an engine instead. its easy. u just need to find a doner. and if u wanted to slap in a cam while u got the engine out, if i have time ill do that for u ---

You’re not capable of a motor swap but you’re going to boost the V6 for $1000. :eyebrow: ---
