If I could find a way to get a V8 N/A in for 1300 plus the engine cost, it would be done already. I could port and polish the intake manny and the head's, but that would blow the budget, and my other goal is to only use mods that easily transfer tho any V6 or V8 later. Now, even if I could do a V8 for the above price, I'm too absorbed in completing my challenge. I will also delete my A/C. My goal is to get the N/A within 15 hp of stock SRT rwhp using mods that can move to an 8 later. Here are my revised plans.

NW DCAI with K&N extremes and 74mm tb.
KV 85 plug wires and NGK iridiums 1 heat range colder.
Updated fuel filter/regulator and oil catch can
NW SRT all - cat delete w/ cut-outs and magnaflow cat-back. (at least where the cats were, lol.)
Evo-sport under-drive pulley kit and Air Conditioning delete.
ECU reflash. gives 20 hp and 20 tq dyno proven to a STOCK N/A. with the above mods, it will likely be more.

Does any body have a guess where I'll be after all of that? I really appreciate all of the advice and feed-back from all of you. Knowing people have hope makes me wanna keep going.
What are the laws in Michigan regarding engine swaps? I'm dying to do a chevy LS swap because its so cheap, reliable and powerful. Only problem is I can't legally register it where I live as far as I know.
