Turbo V8

[Bruce]

GM already did the work for you.  In MY 89, they had the turbo Trans Am.
Used a buick v-6, and 200R4 tranny.   You'd have some time scrounging the
parts, but it's a bolt-in.  If you poke around Gnttype.org for a while,
about all you need to know is there.   With a few bolt ons, you'll be
needing to reinforce the chassis to handle the 6.
Would be easier to start with a GN.
