Default 1984 OLDS cutlass supreme

I was just wondering what modifications i would have to make to this car to put in a ls1, lt1 or grand national motor in it or can i simply turbo it. Would i need to change the motor to carberated, change transmissions and rear end any thing else?
thanks

or could i just replace the 6 cyl with a gm crate 350 motor, it says it puts out 260 hp and it runs for $2000.
Would i need a new tranny and rear end or anything else for this swap? Also would it get better gas mileage then the 6 cyl? Sounds stupid but the 3.8 only gets 16 miles to the gallon.
or is there a way to turbo my existing motor?
any info. is helpful
thanks

Here's one option. Check out my website.

An LT1 would be another alternative. It would drop right in...just use the Monte SS engine mounts.

If you go with an LS1 check out John's site.

In either case you can contact Speartech for your wiring harness and ECU needs and me for your transmission and torque converter needs.
