now if ur lookin to do s/c then what u need to do is look for a company like vortech who makes many s/c kits to put on the 3.4( this makes the most sence to me) also gm s/c engine i believe u'll have to go all the way to 3.8 or 3800 (i've heard of one place in canada which does this swap on berettas i'm not sure on the price but i think it'll run about $10k normally aspirated)(check out beretta.net) but seriously consider getting a 3.4 and possibly boring it out for the larger displacement and if u still need more go to a s/c kit!! to put 10k into a car thats maybe just worth that is silly

but think about it cuz i was for a long time and then reality kicks in and i see the "$" figure

Swap for the 3800SC. Shop around, buy the engine and ECU's for about $1500, and swap it yourself. You can't beat nearly horsepower in the high 200's for that cheap, especially a car like that. OR, you can do what this guy said and bolt a super onto a 3.4L, which would cost more, and give less power.... but hey it's really personal preference, right?

looking for a blown swap? try the new 4.4 cad v8. it'll bolt in, more or less, as chevy engineers demo; if you can drop the 3.1, you should be able to stuff in the 4.4 without major surgery. or you could try a 305, 350, or 5.3. i'd mate it to a th-125c or cad fwd tranny.

better stick to that math major buddy.... you can spit out math numbers and equations till you r blue in the face, they still aren't the same engine. the blocks i believe are quite similar and will bolt up to the same tranny's, but are quite different in many other aspects.
