Thanks for the prompt reply. Can't expect much from a newbie: I took the time to view all the previous posting and found this info also.

If you wanted a fast car, why did you buy the 6 banger in the first place? The 6 cylinder engine can be built up cheaper than going to a small block V8. Check with these guys.

you can turbo a six, but if you REALLY wanted POWER id get a 347 stroker and a shot of n2o.

Yeah you can build a 6, but a V8 has more potential. the problem is swapping a V8 in will cost as much as building up the 6, but if you want serious power (like 11s or faster) the bigger engine will do it easier. Either way, if you make more power, you will be changing rear ends, brakes, and other parts of the V8 swap even if you stay with the 6.

Whatever works, some people like the 6. In the end its up to you really.
