There is more than one way to get a supercharger.

Those GTP's are FWD Ebenezer. A buddy of mine I work with has one of a supercharged ones. Its a pretty quick car (not really that fast though) but the motor swap wouldn't be worth the marginal gains in power for the hassle of making it fit. Although parts would be easier to come buy and upgrades for more power later.

Right you are. I traded my VX two days ago. Got a 2004, Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Short bed and it has a 8.1 liter gas with an Allison trans. Now I can hook a chain to the house and move it around. It is a TANK. I love it.

How many times do you have to fill up before you move the house lol. That 8.1 is a sweet motor though. The 3.8 isn't a bad swap and there are a ton of upgrades for that motor, but you need to make a custom intake piece for the back of the supercharger to clear the firewall. Also you need to work on the transmission as the 4L30E won't work with the factory computer so you would have to swap transmissions as well. It can be done as Dan over on 4x4wire swapped one into his amigo but nothing besides an Isuzu 98+ 3.2/3.5 DOHC is a direct swap or even bolt up. All other 60* bellhousing engines require alot of fab work plus trans changes.

Believe or not I was only getting 11.5 MPG with the VX in the end. After 16 weeks and 4 mechanics all we could do was getting it running driveable enough to trade. Over this time I got to drive it very little with significant HP loss and you all would ban me from the forum for stupidity if you knew the amount of money I've thrown at the VX over the laast 4 months. (divides out to 300.00$ a week. . My new truck with the 8.1 is getting almost 14 with the performance Mods it has come with.
