Hey, at least you made it home. Although I think you were heading the wrong way when I passed you!  I guess most of the stuff you've done so far has been dirt cheap so you can't really complain too much yet. A V8 swap has been beaten to death and I can understand wanting to do something different.

Be original, go for the turbo'd Trailblazer straight six! Although, those engines are complete gas hogs for a 6 cyl. Maybe try a turbo'd Colorado 5 cyl!

grand national swap is way to exspensive,and its been done more then a few times. jeff yeah when u passed us we had spun around to stop at that ****** lil gas station,was pretty much on fumes at that point.possibly why the car stalled on my final run lmfao.kasey i get about the same gas milage the rs only has a 12 gallon tank,thats why u guys are thinking the car gets ****** milage.
anyways i started to take everything apart today,didnt see anything obvoiusly wrong just yet,but was more concerned with just getting it apart then looking every thing over at this point.then again i didnt get into the motor yet,just took off all the turbo stuff,so in a day or so i should know exactly what happened
