go with the turbo 4 cyl engine. you can pick one out of a turbo thunderbird from 84-88 from a junk yard for a few hundred. actually grab the whole car if you can, take the engine, the manual tranny if you need to do the manual swap, and also the rear axle, it's 8.8 limited slip i am pretty sure. all can be had for about 600!! and the engine is pretty much the same as what you have except it has all forged internals n such. then you can spend about another grand or so and push that baby up around 350 hp and 400 torque. after that the next big thing is getting an aluminum head which is about 1500.
