to do it right you'll need rear mods, cage to tie it all together... not easy.
I should also mention that at the track it was a bitch to hold the thing straight, the guy had trouble and only ran a high 10... with lots left...
I know where there is a hot air turbo buick engine that would fit in there quite nicely...

I would rather go with that hot air (pre 86) 3.8 turbo buick badassGN posted about.
After I`m finnished my buick, the next project is going to be a chevette with a turbo v6 buick.
Always liked chevettes for some stange reason and have seen some crazy engine swaps in them.
Probably one of the coolest sleepers I`ve seen is a turbo 4 cylinder svo mustang engine in one.

last I heard you could have it all for 1500....
Kms unknown... I heard this thing run and there were no issues, I considered a hybrid of some sort but I have enough stuff on the go...
i'd be interested in doing this swap if you want, I'm a highly skilled tech and love a challenge....

I couldn't imagine a turbo engine in a Chevette....
