Message	It'll cost way less than converting to an LS. Just ask Gordo. I'd have a close look at the crank. If it's damaged, throw it out and get a good used one. It really depends on how much you want to spend. I'd redo the bottom end with some upgraded pistons / rods at a minimum. As for turbos, you could go with GTX2860R Gen II and make well over 500whp on pump all day long. You'd definitely want some manifolds and inlet piping.
