Dude, for that car you could build a serious engine on a budget. You could find a 5.7 roller block out of another thirdgen, suburban, etc, throw some Gm vortec heads on it and be around the same hp as the crate motor for under a couple grand.

Damn, I wish I had the garage space. I'd get another thirdgen and get my hands dirty. Where's Spike, he could chime in on this.
