Lightbulb 1998 Camaro V6 3800..Need suggestions

I have a 98' Camaro V6 3800 Series
The car runs good even with the flywheel having loose bolts.lol
Well I was thinking to fix that problem so I thought I might as well buy a new clutch&lightweight flywheel..
but then again that's a lot of cash..

So I came about 2 solutions..

Rebuild my V6 that I have&supercharge it
or
Swap the engine to a LS1 or LT1 or something similar

Specific suggestions will be more than helpful ! =)
thankyouuu

A new clutch and flywheel is a lot less money than any of your other options.

Before you consider a swap, I suggest that you sell it and buy and LS1 or LT1 car. It will cost a lot less.

1999 LS1 M6 with 103k on the clock for $3900:

If you want to supercharge or turbocharge your V6, more power to you, but you're looking at spending a lot of money just to go as fast as a stock LS1.

Oops! I thought it was a Z28, with the LS1 in it. I wasn't paying attention. It's a 3800 V6 like you have now.

LS1 is a V8, found in '98-02 Z28s and SSes. LT1 is the older V8, found in '93-97 Z28s and '96-97 SSes.

Okay, how about these?

1998 Z28, 137k, $3999

2001 SS, 106k, $6949

There could be alot of reasons for that. Primary reason is the F-Body nose disease.
