| You could do it. All the power you'd might want from a TTA, but with 1/2 the fuel economy of a turbo V6.  ElectraJim

 | Sell me your car cheap, then buy a white GTA for your project. You'd come out ahead by comparison.

| I had a freight company driver pick up at my office and he saw my TTA in the lot. He asked if I thought about putting an LS1 in it!!  I said no, alky and up the boost and I'd almost be in the 11's. He didn't say anything after that.

 | I smelled this thread a mile away!  Like Kma697 said I would just buy a white GTA hardtop car and slap some TTA badges on it and do the engine in that. I almost thought about that myself as a project car. Would make for a good rocket ship! 89 GTA's sell for nothing still. You could probably sell your TTA and just about fund a GTA and engine you want.

| I'm pretty sure someone from this board will either buy/forcefully acquire your car before you can put a V8 in it.

Is rated at 315FW, and has a tune on it that puts it near 340. There are all alum versions of that engine, that would make a NEAT swap, especially w/ a turbo, & the 4L65E... Sweet! Oh, then after the swap, you could sell your engine hoist.
