Making the power is only half the battle and half the expense. Getting it in and handling it is at least the other half, and often a bigger battle and expense.

This is more of a Power Adder issue than Engine Swap.

would be sweet but way to expensive banks turbo stuff is pricey, but if you have the money go for it

Good luck fitting all that into a thirdgen, though it looks like the exhaust would be the only really hard part. Don't forget about everything else you'd need to handle and support 1100hp. For example, every single thing in the car. Can you afford it?

That is one beautiful setup.

Hey guys sigh... yea your right it is expensive, and I am not a rich boy unfortunately its going to take like 5 years of saving to redo the bird inside and out I want to drop 60-80k into it the engine obviously a transmission that can handle it along with all the driveline parts that need to be stronger. Then on to making her shine but yea I have another link I was emailed lmao sigh... $37000 for the 6.0 twin turbo crate engine... oh man Lateral-g Forums - Twin Turbo pics & information anyways this is just a dream/goal for me cause as some may have noticed I am only 19 almost 20 and well I feel I don’t have a lot in life that thrills me, drugs?…. lmao those hold nothing to me but if there’s one thing I am addicted to it’s a adrenaline rush and the firebirds that give them to me muhahahah
