just put a v8 in it and call it a day will make more reliable HP and still be cheaper than turboing what you have ---

Not that difficult, it runs great and his insurance is CHEAP since the VIN is still for the six cylinder. Do you want to contact him? ---

The whistle tip be like WOOOOOOOOOO! I vote for the V8 swap, I can’t imagine that a **quality** turbo/SC setup would cost much less once you added everything up at a shop (assuming you are paying for most of the labor since you said you don’t know a lot). ---

i bought a motor from pewter about 2 years ago now and he helped me put it in and it is still kickin in my DD. id seriously look into an ls1 swap but i know for an experiment he did a 5.3 truck swap into a f-body not too sure of the outcome but that might save you a few bucks. ---
