Not to mention you'd have a nice sleeper. For $3k you couldn't switch engines and have them as fast as a nicely built turbo 3800. The turbo 3800 I saw made 350 whp on the stock engine.

there is a turbo 3800 on an all stock motor making 416RWHP

(fuel upgrades and lots of tuning)

i'm at 456RWHP/509RWTQ on my biult motor only cuase i'm close to running out of fuel injector lol

i need some 65# injectors

Re: v6 to v8 swap, opinions plz

im currently getting a shop to do my swap. wouldnt recommend it, buy a v8, only reason i did is bc i had the v8(totalled mine from rear) and had v6 already paid off....
