Default Retro swap lq4

I came along a deal and have an lQ4 6.0 out of a 2005 truck. I'd like to use the motor for a retro in a 67 camaro Rs/Ss. Right now for financial reasons I think ill stick to N/A but would like to get more than stock power(of course) , later on I would like to use some form of forced air induction whether it be supercharged or turbo, I'm leaning toward turbo... Any suggestions?? Thanks

I honestly would keep it stock and run it as is..


Then research turbos/superchargers etc.. And do a rebuild later!!

You can head/cam you lq4 now for more NA power but you'll most likely change it all when going FI..

That makes sense! I've been starting to think the same thing, why do it all now if it's practically all going to be swapped. Thanks!
