Well then I would have needed to swap the trans, and my choice would have been auto or t-56 and I'm not a big fan of either. I'm not saying the dinky T-5 is great, but I just love a loud chevy with a 5 speed. Now the whole purpose isn't strait up power, or ETs, that would be an awsome side effect though, its more or less the fact I baught the car for $800 with the intention of swaping a V8 in it. I researced the project and wound up finding out about 3.4 puting down impresive numbers but I noticed flaws with there choices in parts. turbos that spool to late, over fueling, under fueling. So I spent a year and talked to people found more forums(including this one) got ideas both good and bad, sorted though what was what and came up to now. So I've decided to take the the road less traveled and see what I can squeze out of what is unexpetedly a stout little powerplant. I've got the parts on order. I've got the place set up(looks out window at 98+ V-6 F-body, 3.8, sounds like crap). I've got a few god guys ready to help, and I'm really hurtin for my car back. so by the end of may I'll be spendind countless hours at T&T tuning my car to T.
