It's frontwheel drive car so putting a LS1 engine would be really expensive and a pain in the ass to retrofit. I've been thinking about putting a late model 3.8l 3800 supercharged engine with matching engine and transmission. I think that wouldnt' be a hard swap besides wiring the computer up. The engine has low hp because it's a shitty design (cast iron heads, aluminum block, aluminum intake) and it's a funky engine to take apart and the low hp comes from tons and tons of emission equipment on it.
