Well that escalated quickly. Been watching too much sloppy mechanic youtube videos.

Found this on Facebook marketplace. A german couple on break from university are traveling across North America for almost two years. They found out the hard way that their rusty Quebec van they purchased when they first arrived had no chance of passing an OPI. $1200 later, and I have a complete swap for a LQ4 and 4L80E transmission into the Blahzer.
Going to be pushing to get into x275 this year. With the LQ4, 1400hp is possible bone stock with the ring gap widened up on the factory pistons. So that's what I am going to do. Since space is limited, I wouldn't be surprised to have the turbo inlets sticking out of the hood.
