the v6 rs will prolly never get a small block,having to much fun with the v6 in there,besides i got just about 32mpg with it on the way back from the nats and that was with the 4:10s and an unlocked converter.

at most when i max out this setup i may drop a turboed 4.3 vortec into the car.
but im gonna wait and see how expensive one of those direct injected 3.6 motors would be to drop in.though from what ive been told once u start making about 400 hp on those 4.3's u gota spend alot of money on aftermarket parts.and if thats the case i might as well just swap out the shortblock for a 3.4 v6 with a forged 3500 crank and a set of 327 sbc h-beam rods for much much less money
