yes you can put an F-Body 3.4ltr engine in there, you can either wire in the f-body wire harness with that, or use the 2.8ltr induction system in there. CC makes 1.6 roller rockers for it, and performance cams along with crane, howards, and wolverine. headers, and V-8 F-body exhaust, MSD Ignition, and performance PROM. Oh someone on here had his turbo charged and was running 12's. got into hot rod mag with it, think he was from Indiana??? saw his video in the 1/4 mile on here a few years ago....
