Lost another engine...

So the junkyard wouldn't come down on the price on the 3400. It had a cracked starter mounting pad, so who other than a wierdo like me would want it? My boss and I got tired of looking at the motor so we sent it back. I also got very distracted by a motorcycle, so my attention has slipped away from the fiero.

Back to the V6 engine?

I have a slightly used 3400 out of a 2006 Equinox sitting on the floor next to my bay. My boss is trying to get me a deal on the engine, and if it works out I'll have that as my new project.
I still would like to put a turbo on it, if I can figure out what size I need. I also need a computer, I'm thinking MS3 cause I still have the LS series coils I want to use. I have a lot of the wiring off the engine and all brackets except the a/c mount. I will have to swap out the intake I already have because the Equinox intake is way to tall to use. But all I need to put the 3400 in the car is a flywheel, clutch and front motor mount bracket. So the MS3, turbo, injectors and fuel pump will be the large expense.
