If you're going to put a blower on it, your best bet is a junkyard engine. Strip it to a block, have a magnaflux done (checks for cracks in the block, and any other parts you want them to do), if the block's okay, have all the machine work done to it, and rebuild it yourself with the parts meant for it.

Dont let me burst ur bubble, but do u realize how much it will cost to do a v8 swap? ls1-4k t56 or 4l60e-2k, motor mounts, radiator, fans, and trans crossmember-500, computer, wiring harness-500, miscellaneous parts-250. Time? lots. The blown motor u put a picture of, the blower itself is 2600 dollars, look in jegs or summit. i think because it looks good is the WRONG pretences to do something of this magnitude.

If ya want a blower... did you know there's blowers available for our 2.8's? Only for carb or tbi tho, so maybe convert to tbi off junkyard parts, then cut the hole in the hood
