If i was to build another 3rd gen, thats exactly what i would do. I know people may say v8 is better and it may be but with equal performace possible and the novelty of a turbo and the motor swap, this would have my vote.

Been there done that have the T-shirt. It's an easy swap as far as getting everything in there but it's not cheap. I had a bad experience with my swap(the guy ended up selling me a blown TTA motor). Parts aren't getting any cheaper unfortunately. However nothing beats the brute force of that low end torque. The only real problem is these motors are like women. Very finickey and they have mood swings lol
