Welcome to the site! I foresee you being a great member!(i have those powers
 )It really depends how much money and time you have to put into the car. For an engine swap your look at at least 3,000$ but the car will be faster than most corvettes. You could turbo for under 3 grand but you wont get the HP gains. Usually the best place to start on a car is get it up to OEM spec like the day it rolled off the floor. Make sure the engine runs well, the brakes are in good working order, suspension,ect THEN look into upgrading further. Because you have a GT it makes a 3sgte engine swap much easier(you can keep the same tranny and axles). Just read through the stickies and get o the chat and im sure people would be more than welcome to help you out. |
