EXACTLY. It's completely possible, and HAS INDEED been done without moving said firewall, but as far as I know, it was a wiring nightmare, and STILL doesn't run correctly. ( but I could be wrong ) That 10k pricetag is also butkus...He might have that much invested, but not just in the swap. With high-mile 99 N-bodies kickin around for less than 3k around here, that leaves him 7k+ to drop it, vinyl it up, toss on a bodykit, paint it, and do the motor swap. ( Again, completely possible to do for under 10k )

The L67 swap into a J-body is very common as a matter of fact....with the motor in stock trim with 0 mods, the J-body L67 combo is a low 13 second car proven very easily...I'll get y'all links if there's a need for proof.

Speaking of supercharged motors in Aleros, I can't believe the GM blower upgrade for the 2.4 isn't more popular than it is....for less than $1,500, ( plus a GM tune ) it's a great way to wake up the the little engine that couldn't. I dunno what the 2.4 twin puts out, but GM claims an added 50 horse without any additional porting, etc. I bet if there was more work done, we'd be looking @ closer to 75 additional hp above stock numbers. Granted, a custom turbo system will put down better numbers for around the same amount of scratch, the GM blower is a plug n play kinda deal, custom made for that motor, which is why I woulda thought it would be more popular?
