turbo or 350?

alright a 350 is oviously easier to accomplish and is gonna be more reliable. But lets say i get a hold of (more likely put together) a 3.8 turbo, wich one is going to be the better engine. wich one would be best to go with. i figure the turbo despite more effort and money, but its also weighing in at hundreds of pounds less, with fairly comparable numbers.

lol

As far as the turbo 3.8 being lighter than the 350, not by much...the buick 3.8 turbo block(109 block) is pretty beefy...
