Default '83 Chevy Celebrity could use a new powerplant...

I just picked it up for cheap just to drive it around. Now it got me thinking, what should I do to it? I have a couple ideas, let me know what you think.

Option 1: L67, supercharged 3.8 liter swap

Option 2: LS4 swap.

I had a 87, I always wished to do a 3.8 SC in it. But it went to the junk yard for 1000 bucks. I vote for the 3.8.

L67 - it would sound more like the original engine, thus the sleeper effect

plus since its similar design it should be easier to adapt, LS4s are tq steering *****
