Seriously,
Im not sure yet. I was thinking v8 upgrade. Dont know with I want LS or LT (havent looked up the differences between the 2 yet. But im hoping to go with an engine & transmission that comes from the same car.
My guess is that ill have to change:
Engine (8cylinder)
Transmission (6speed)
Differential (Probably off a Gm truck)
Suspension + Brakes + Wiring
I dont have a clue where to start of what to look for.
I want something that performs (+/- 400hp) reliable, easy to maintain.
For now thats all I know, still in the learning curb!

400whp reliably is going to be all LS1, that can be had fairly easily with just a cam swap, headers and a decent exhaust.
To be honest, swapping a v6 car to a v8 is QUITE a chore, if a v8 is what you're after, it my be best looking to purchase a v8 car as you'll be ahead of the game. If not and you're a glutton for punishment, I'd look for a totaled LS1 car and buy it, as you'll need the large majority of its parts
