i would say rebuild what you have and do a topw swap, or find a junkyard L67 and build it up and pretty it up for the show+the go and then get the 4T65E-HD and also swap it in, also with doing this you kan also pretty up the interior with the correct gauges to monitor the essentials of the Forced Induction engine, put this is my >02, i hope you figure out what you wanna do

id say do a top swap and tranny from zzp, or get the tranny from a gtp, because the gtp came with the HD stock. but i would do the zzp tranny and a nice new motor. but tranny alone is some cash.

IMHO, swap a low mileage L32 in with a beefed up trans. This way you get all the improvements that were made to make the L67 into the L32, the fifth gen blower, and all the potential that comes with a motor that was built for a power adder.
Just my opinion though...

I say rebuild your engine now, do the top swap, and swap out with the ZZP tranny

The N* fits. There was a pic of a guy on CGP with a custom N* build, then they added a turbo. It was making somewhere around 500whp on the dyno.
Personally, I'd turbo it, run it until it pukes, then swap in a low-mileage 3800 and do it again.

How good are you with fabrication?... you could probably buid your own turbo setup (or most of it) for a whole bunch cheaper.
But i love my top-swap.

Thanks guys, and 2fast I will keep that in mind but I dont have the cash just yet. Brian Teel over at motorswap.org said that swapping to a "drive by wire" engine (LS4, L32) is a real PITA...he also said the N* was doable but electronics were a monster headache for very little power gain...In all honesty I was only considering those two engines for the V8 sound Gotta love Rook, run er til she pukes and do it again I'll have to keep an eye on the local salvage yard for a GTP donor car...although grabbing a built L67 from 2fast and a ZZp tranny would be a sweet option...I dolike the concept of being able to pretty it up as I go since making the engine bay measure up to the rest of the car would be nice. I'll keep you posted as I go on "Operation Boost the ThunderBat"

I think yer best bet WOULD be to grab one of Brad's mills. Or grab the short block he's got and go about the cosmetics, which accomplishes that which you wish to do, any-freakin-way.
It is a sad day, indeed, when the Dark Knight has to rely on under-handed methods. Natural Aspiration...is doomed.
lol, jk, Tim.
