I've heard it's alot of work and money to do this swap. I could be mistaking though.

I would personaly turbo your motor/ but thats just me, these newer motors are pritty much bullit pruff if you tune it right!!!

Also you will make more Horse power than the G N engine from stock to stock!!

That would be awesome but can you put together a turbo kit for $1000? If so PM me. I would be glad to see if there were an arrangement that we could come to. I would not mind sporting your company's logo on my car and clothing.

If you are going to do the work, might as well of had a V8.
Then put twin turbos on it if you want.

So its pretty much a bad investment? Alright I'm back looking at LT1s. I found one for with 82K on it $1500 with all accessories, PCM, 4L60E Trans. What do you think?

just put a power adder on the 3.8.

What is the most affordable way to do this?

BEN, Trust me you will not get a motor swap done for less that $4000. Put a turbo on you 3.8 and be HAPPY.

I rode in Justin's turbo bird and it's QUICK when it spools up and it wasn't even close to full boost for the setup he has. It is a LOT of hassle and headache to do a motor swap from another vehicle. You have to deal with all the wiring and making the computer work with the car's body systems. It USED to be simple when everything was mechanical and carbbed. With FI cars and integrated computers it's a lot of work and frustration to do if you have never attempted such a thing. Justin's base turbo kit will put you close to the power of a stock LT1 without all the hassel of the swap. He has upgraded stages of the turbo kit if you still want more power. Plus you'll still keep the slightly better fuel economy of the V6.

Well Said Wade. I would have to agree.

I am very interested in a turbo kit. I would just like to know if he could do a kit for less than $2000 for parts. If so I would like to make payments to him to start purchasing the parts and then next spring or so have him help me install the parts.
