Re: just wondering...

Engine swap, maybe a built up 3.4 L cast iron used in the 90s Camaro and Firebird. This engine had better oiling capabilities from the get go.

Some have used the 2.8, but the stock engines in a 20 year old car are going to be suspect as its ability to take the boost. So I would think that any engine you'd want would need a rebuild at least to add a turbo to. Then limit the boost.

I knew one who was getting about 250 HP out of a boosted 3.4, however a few weeks later at a 75 boost, blew the engine. The chance you take with nitrous.
