Steer me in a direction here

So I've had my 95 3.4 a4 since I was 12. So clean is halfway through receiving a paint Job has tt2's and all that. I've always wanted to do the lt1 swap. So I just recently now at 17 went out and bought a 93 z28 m6. 171,000 miles with no trans. Ran good before trans was pulled or so I was told. Little risk on my part. I plan on swapping everything over PCM all wiring dash harness whole front subframe rear end you know everything I need then selling the original z28 with my v6 power train for a little extra cash. But. Ow I've hit a road block. Do I just get a tranny swap it all over and have some fun this summer. Then build later on. Or do I swap, sell the v6 for cash and build the motor clean everything up a little engine bay wise and all tht. I am very detail oriented you would know if you saw my car. If you think I should build maybe leave some suggestions for the setup, heads cam rotating assembly type stuff. Looking for decent gas but really just a mean sounding quick car. Not really looking to supercharge or anything like that unless it's pretty simple. That's just a lot of $$$
And this car will be my daily as it is now keep in mind. Thanks ahead of time for all the responses

google "junkyard turbo build"

and DIY meth injection

you could do 10 pounds (or more if you upgrade to forged pistons) for a grand with water meth injection.

If you are very detail oriented, and can weld, and spend 2 grand you could go
15-20 pounds of boost with up to 1k HP

Check out my thread, I'll have about $3500 in the entire build, including tuning software, and ten sold the old engine for $2k, so about $1500 out of pocket!!!
