Yeah i wouldn't put any money into the v6 engine..

Not when you can find 5.3-6.0 complete pullouts for 1,200-1,600 w/everything you would need for the swap..

Why close it down? This thread is totally legitimate. What's wing with asking about a V6? Is it a crime? There are V6s out there that will stomp an LS1. LS1 swap has been dinner plenty. Engineering a V6 to squeeze as much power from it is no different than doing the same to a V8. After i get it done I'll add the turbo, but threatening to close a thread because you don't agree work someone doing the best worth what they have is just childish and pathetic. I need help, not opinions.
