Performance trends LS V8 or Turbo 4?

[Streeter]

The Nova seems more current in thinking. Recent cars have smaller turbo engines for emissions and economy, plus better handling with less weight in the nose. The old school way was more displacement and don't worry about the understeer! Would anyone put a turbo 4 into a classic musclecar?

No replacement for displacement.

A classic? No. But a friend just put a modern turbo 2.5 into a mid-90s Mustang.

I'm looking at a supercharger 4.3L V6 for my second Studebaker.

Sweeeet nova.... i'd do it. Those engines make 350hp+ with a livernois tune, intake/exhaust...

I ditched a pretty badass 396 sbc to do a junkyard inline 6.... i regret nothing about that choice!!

I have VERY mixed emotions about it... If it were mine, it do a silly big block. Buuuuuut it is nice to see something with a different powerplant.
