I am not planning on anything like that yet. I think the first step is to get it operate as if the car came with a V8 and then boost things from there. The first mod will be ECU retune and then maybe the new type HPS supercharger system that looks similar to the Kleeman.

HDDP, you you see the resemblence of the V8 to the V6?

Here is a picture of a C43 engine. Note the exhaust manifold. The look like they might bolt right up to the stock down pipes. I have located the manifolds but didn't want to buy them until I knew I had an engine. I will be buying the manifolds and electric fan soon now.
