tubular k-member ?s & turbo motor ?s

Whats up guys and girls, I got a question. I have a 2002 Camaro with the 3800 and 5 spd. Does anyone know who makes a tubular k-member for this engine? Basically, I would like to make the entire suspension tubular. Any suggestions? I also plan on finding a way to take out the old engine and run a Grand National engine in it or something similar to that. I havent seen much talk about anyone doing this so maybe im issing something. Any complications that I should be aware of besides the obvious? Im not worried about going with the LS1 or any of the LS series because that would be too easy and common, so any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Don't know about the V6 but several companies make them for the LT1's and LS1's.

Maybe if you called they could fix you up.

Matt is the 3800 performance guru, he can set you up with a turbo kit.

The 3800 SII is a better engine than the original in the Grand National. I personally like the engine much better than my LT1, much easier to work on and a stock cross bolted 4 bolt bottom end, that is nearly indestructible as long as you keep an eye on detonation.

He owns the world's fastest 3800 powered car, a 1999 Grand Prix GT that runs 8.50's to 8.60's on the stock bottom end. Nice guy too the time or two I met him.
