With enough money, anything is possible.

Assuming for now youre not a bot- But yes, its very possible. And far easier then most who arent a apart of the car world might realize.

Some welding, a standalone, some supporting equipment, and some ingenuity work wonders. There was at least one American minivan that came stock with a turbo, a dodge caravan if I remember right, but it wasn't a V8. Someone built one up and I've seen lots of youtube vids of that because my friend likes eclectic cars to say the least. Maybe thats the one you saw.

Did you know that the van with the Vortec has the same basic engine block as the ZR1 it was racing? awesome.gif

Unless it was racing a ZR-1, which was an older and completely different design.

But yeah. Vortecs are 1,000 HP just waiting to be unlocked. wink2.gif

VG33ET: forged rods, pistons (VG34ET), nistune, 1,000cc injectors E85, 4" exhaust to a 2-1/4 with a 4" electric cut out, maxima FWD transmission 5 speed. (or maybe a built auto?), HX40 or maybe a HX35. LOL

Someone down the road has a GMC Safari (chevy astro) AWD with the 4.3 vortec which he pulled and somehow stuffed a cammed 5.7 in there and stripped the inside down completely. He's still working on it, but I can't wait to see it completed. Total soccer mom sleeper lol
